Figure 3.

Volcano plots of Spearman correlation test (“ρ value” and associated p value) in TCGA breast cancer (normal tissue, primary [Pr.] tumor and the indicated tumor subgroups). The Spearman tests were applied on correlation between selected genes (MLKL, RIPK1, RIPK3, PGAM5 and DFNA5) and between the activities of different immune cells, measured within MCP-counter, in TCGA breast cancer data set. Subgroups are slightly different than the usual ones because of missing information. PGAM5 expression is not available for the TCGA data set because there is no associated probeset. p values were adjusted for each immune cell type (Benjamini-Hochberg method). The lowest p values are indicated as 10e-50.
