(primary solid tumor cohort)
This pipeline computes the correlation between cancer subtypes identified by different molecular patterns and selected clinical features.
Testing the association between subtypes identified by 8 different clustering approaches and 6 clinical features across 179 patients, 12 significant findings detected with P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25.
-
CNMF clustering analysis on array-based mRNA expression data identified 3 subtypes that do not correlate to any clinical features.
-
Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on array-based mRNA expression data identified 3 subtypes that do not correlate to any clinical features.
-
3 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'CN CNMF'. These subtypes correlate to 'HISTOLOGICAL.TYPE'.
-
4 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'METHLYATION CNMF'. These subtypes correlate to 'Time to Death', 'AGE', 'HISTOLOGICAL.TYPE', and 'RADIATIONS.RADIATION.REGIMENINDICATION'.
-
CNMF clustering analysis on sequencing-based mRNA expression data identified 4 subtypes that correlate to 'Time to Death', 'HISTOLOGICAL.TYPE', and 'RADIATIONS.RADIATION.REGIMENINDICATION'.
-
Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on sequencing-based mRNA expression data identified 4 subtypes that correlate to 'Time to Death', 'AGE', and 'HISTOLOGICAL.TYPE'.
-
CNMF clustering analysis on sequencing-based miR expression data identified 7 subtypes that correlate to 'HISTOLOGICAL.TYPE'.
-
Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on sequencing-based miR expression data identified 3 subtypes that do not correlate to any clinical features.

consensus non-negative matrix factorization clustering approach (Brunet et al. 2004)
Resampling-based clustering method (Monti et al. 2003)
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
For continuous numerical clinical features, one-way analysis of variance (Howell 2002) was applied to compare the clinical values between tumor subtypes using 'anova' function in R
For binary clinical features, two-tailed Fisher's exact tests (Fisher 1922) were used to estimate the P values using the 'fisher.test' function in R
For multi-class clinical features (nominal or ordinal), Chi-square tests (Greenwood and Nikulin 1996) were used to estimate the P values using the 'chisq.test' function in R
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.
