Overview
Introduction

This is an overview of Lymphoid Neoplasm Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma analysis pipelines from Firehose run "15 January 2014".

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.

    • Correlation between copy number variation genes (focal events) and selected clinical features
      View Report | Testing the association between copy number variation 21 focal events and 3 clinical features across 21 patients, one significant finding detected with Q value < 0.25.

    • Correlation between copy number variations of arm-level result and selected clinical features
      View Report | Testing the association between copy number variation 17 arm-level events and 3 clinical features across 21 patients, one significant finding detected with Q value < 0.25.

    • Correlation between gene methylation status and clinical features
      View Report | Testing the association between 19739 genes and 3 clinical features across 21 samples, statistically thresholded by Q value < 0.05, no clinical feature related to at least one genes.

      View Report | Testing the association between 17576 genes and 3 clinical features across 21 samples, statistically thresholded by Q value < 0.05, 1 clinical feature related to at least one genes.

  • Clustering Analyses

    • Clustering of Methylation: consensus NMF
      View Report | The 14487 most variable methylated genes were selected based on variation. The variation cutoff are set for each tumor type empirically by fitting a bimodal distriution. For genes with multiple methylation probes, we chose the most variable one to represent the gene. Consensus NMF clustering of 28 samples and 14487 genes 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 mRNAseq gene expression: consensus hierarchical
      View Report | The 1500 most variable genes were selected. Consensus average linkage hierarchical clustering of 28 samples and 1500 genes identified 2 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 mRNAseq gene expression: consensus NMF
      View Report | The most robust consensus NMF clustering of 28 samples using the 1500 most variable genes was identified for k = 2 clusters. We computed the clustering for k = 2 to k = 8 and used the cophenetic correlation coefficient to determine the best solution.
