Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Correlation between copy number variations of arm-level result and molecular subtypes
(primary blood tumor (peripheral) cohort)
Maintained by TCGA GDAC Team (Broad Institute/MD Anderson Cancer Center/Harvard Medical School)
Overview
Introduction

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

Summary

Testing the association between copy number variation 22 arm-level results and 6 molecular subtypes across 191 patients, 20 significant findings detected with Q value < 0.25.

  • 1p gain cnv correlated to 'CN_CNMF'.

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

  • Molecular subtypes file = LAML-TB.transferedmergedcluster.txt

  • Number of patients = 191

  • Number of significantly arm-level cnvs = 22

  • Number of molecular subtypes = 6

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

Chi-square test

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

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.
