Ovarian Serous Cystadenocarcinoma: Correlation between copy number variations of arm-level result and selected clinical features
Maintained by TCGA GDAC Team (Broad Institute/Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School)
Overview
Introduction

This pipeline computes the correlation between significant arm-level copy number variations (cnvs) and selected clinical features.

Summary

Testing the association between copy number variation 80 arm-level results and 7 clinical features across 554 patients, 8 significant findings detected with Q value < 0.25.

  • 2p gain cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • 3q gain cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • 10p gain cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • 12p gain cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • 12q gain cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • 20p gain cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • 20q gain cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • 9q loss cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

Methods & Data
Input
  • Mutation data file = broad_values_by_arm.mutsig.cluster.txt

  • Clinical data file = OV.clin.merged.picked.txt

  • Number of patients = 554

  • Number of significantly arm-level cnvs = 80

  • Number of selected clinical features = 7

  • Exclude genes that fewer than K tumors have mutations, K = 3

Survival analysis

For survival clinical features, the Kaplan-Meier survival curves of tumors with and without gene mutations were plotted and the statistical significance P values were estimated by logrank test (Bland and Altman 2004) using the 'survdiff' function in R

Student's t-test analysis

For continuous numerical clinical features, two-tailed Student's t test with unequal variance (Lehmann and Romano 2005) was applied to compare the clinical values between tumors with and without gene mutations using 't.test' function in R

Fisher's exact test

For binary or multi-class clinical features (nominal or ordinal), two-tailed Fisher's exact tests (Fisher 1922) were used to estimate the P values using the 'fisher.test' function in R

Q value calculation

For multiple hypothesis correction, Q value is the False Discovery Rate (FDR) analogue of the P value (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995), defined as the minimum FDR at which the test may be called significant. We used the 'Benjamini and Hochberg' method of 'p.adjust' function in R to convert P values into Q values.
