Analysis Overview for Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Maintained by TCGA GDAC Team (Broad Institute/Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School)

Overview

Introduction

This is the analysis overview for Firehose run "13 September 2012".

Summary

Note: These results are offered to the community as an additional reference point, enabling a wide range of cancer biologists, clinical investigators, and genome and computational scientists to easily incorporate TCGA into the backdrop of ongoing research. While every effort is made to ensure that Firehose input data and algorithms are of the highest possible quality, these analyses have not been reviewed by domain experts.

Results

Sequence and Copy Number Analyses

Copy number analysis (GISTIC2)
View Report | There were 82 tumor samples used in this analysis: 23 significant arm-level results, 27 significant focal amplifications, and 26 significant focal deletions were found.

Clustering Analyses

Clustering of copy number data: consensus NMF
View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 82 samples using the 53 copy number focal regions was identified for k = 3 clusters. We computed the clustering for k = 2 to k = 8 and used the cophenetic correlation coefficient to determine the best solution.
Clustering of miRseq expression: consensus NMF
View Report | We filtered the data to 150 most variable miRs. Consensus NMF clustering of 54 samples and 150 miRs identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.
Clustering of miRseq expression: consensus hierarchical
View Report | We filtered the data to 150 most variable miRs. Consensus average linkage hierarchical clustering of 54 samples and 150 miRs identified 3 subtypes with the stability of the clustering increasing for k = 2 to k = 8 and the average silhouette width calculation for selecting the robust clusters.

Correlation Analyses

Correlation between copy number variations of arm-level result and selected clinical features
View Report | Testing the association between copy number variation 61 arm-level results and 3 clinical features across 58 patients, 2 significant findings detected with Q value < 0.25.
Correlation between copy number variation genes and selected clinical features
View Report | Testing the association between copy number variation of 53 peak regions and 3 clinical features across 58 patients, no significant finding detected with Q value < 0.25.
Correlation between molecular cancer subtypes and selected clinical features
View Report | Testing the association between subtypes identified by 3 different clustering approaches and 3 clinical features across 59 patients, no significant finding detected with P value < 0.05.
Correlation between miRseq expression and clinical features
View Report | Testing the association between 570 genes and 3 clinical features across 45 samples, statistically thresholded by Q value < 0.05, no clinical feature related to at least one genes.
