Among all cancer types, the highest number of amplified AMPK pathway genes was observed in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA; 44 genes) followed by bladder cancer (BLCA; 42 genes) and lung cancer (41 genes in both lung squamous cell carcinoma [LUSC] and adenocarcinoma [LUAD]) (Fig. 1). This evidence concerns the gene PRKAA1 and lung carcinoma.
