Overview
Introduction

This pipeline computes the correlation between significantly recurrent gene mutations and molecular subtypes.

Summary

Testing the association between mutation status of 28 genes and 10 molecular subtypes across 293 patients, 10 significant findings detected with P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25.

  • PBRM1 mutation correlated to 'CN_CNMF',  'METHLYATION_CNMF',  'MRNASEQ_CNMF', and 'MIRSEQ_CHIERARCHICAL'.

  • BAP1 mutation correlated to 'MRNASEQ_CHIERARCHICAL',  'MIRSEQ_CNMF', and 'MIRSEQ_CHIERARCHICAL'.

  • SETD2 mutation correlated to 'METHLYATION_CNMF'.

  • MTOR mutation correlated to 'RPPA_CNMF' and 'RPPA_CHIERARCHICAL'.

Methods & Data
Input
  • Mutation data file = KIRC-TP.mutsig.cluster.txt

  • Molecular subtypes file = KIRC-TP.transferedmergedcluster.txt

  • Number of patients = 293

  • Number of significantly mutated genes = 28

  • Number of Molecular subtypes = 10

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

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

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

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.
