Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the "Regulation of nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay" pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the HNSC cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are SAE1, RBM39, and TRIM28_S697, each associated with the pathway in up to 7 cancer types. Since the analysis shows associations rather than directional relationships, both pathway-to-partner and partner-to-pathway views are reported.
Each partner is linked to its corresponding Q-omics profile. The scatter plot shows the strongest association, "Regulation of nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay" activity versus SAE1 in HNSC (Pearson r = 0.32).
