Basic information

Full name
synuclein alpha
Ensembl
ENSG00000145335.17
Summary
Alpha-synuclein is a member of the synuclein family, which also includes beta- and gamma-synuclein. Synucleins are abundantly expressed in the brain and alpha- and beta-synuclein inhibit phospholipase D2 selectively. SNCA may serve to integrate presynaptic signaling and membrane trafficking. Defects in SNCA have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease. SNCA peptides are a major component of amyloid plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Tumor and normal comparison

Signed p-values
Data type Meta P BRCA CCRCC COAD GBM HNSCC LSCC LUAD OV PDAC UCEC

* P-values are from Wilcoxon rank sum test and can be clicked to show the box plots. Positive values mean higher abundance in tumor. BRCA and GBM do not have normal samples.

mRNA expression at gene level
Protein expression

* Mild outlier: filled circle; Extreme outlier: empty circle.

Phenotype and mutation association

Manhattan plot summarizing associations of phenotypes and mutations across all cohorts and omics data types

* Data points of significant associations above and below the dotted lines can be hovered to show the phenotype.

Associations of the protein abundance of SNCA with phenotypes and mutations

Signed p-values
Phenotype Meta P BRCA CCRCC COAD GBM HNSCC LSCC LUAD OV PDAC UCEC

* P-values could be from test for Spearman correlation, Wilcoxon rank sum test, Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test or Cox regression depending on the data type. P-values for individual cohorts can be clicked to show the data plots. The matrix icons in each row can be clicked to show a heatmap summary of associations across all cohorts and omics. The rows in the table can be expanded to show results from other omics.

Cis-association

Associations between omics data of SNCA

* The numbers are Spearman correlation coefficients and can be clicked to show the scatter plots. The color and size of the circles correlate with the coefficients.

Trans-association

Associations of the protein abundance of SNCA and the protein abundance of other genes

Signed p-values
Gene Meta P BRCA CCRCC COAD GBM HNSCC LSCC LUAD OV PDAC UCEC

* P-values are from test for Spearman correlation. P-values for individual cohorts can be clicked to show the data plots. The matrix icons in each row can be clicked to show a heatmap summary of associations across all cohorts and omics. The rows in the table can be expanded to show results from other omics.
