Overview
Introduction

This pipeline computes the correlation between significantly recurrent gene mutations and selected clinical features.

Summary

Testing the association between mutation status of 9 genes and 14 clinical features across 200 patients, 13 significant findings detected with Q value < 0.25.

  • KIDINS220 mutation correlated to 'GLEASON_SCORE_COMBINED' and 'GLEASON_SCORE'.

  • CTNNB1 mutation correlated to 'NUMBER.OF.LYMPH.NODES'.

  • TP53 mutation correlated to 'GLEASON_SCORE_COMBINED' and 'GLEASON_SCORE'.

  • PTEN mutation correlated to 'NUMBER.OF.LYMPH.NODES'.

  • FOXA1 mutation correlated to 'NUMBER.OF.LYMPH.NODES'.

  • IDH1 mutation correlated to 'NUMBER.OF.LYMPH.NODES' and 'PSA_VALUE'.

  • NKX3-1 mutation correlated to 'NUMBER.OF.LYMPH.NODES' and 'GLEASON_SCORE_COMBINED'.

  • CDKN1B mutation correlated to 'NUMBER.OF.LYMPH.NODES' and 'PSA_VALUE'.

Methods & Data
Input
  • Mutation data file = transformed.cor.cli.txt

  • Clinical data file = PRAD-TP.merged_data.txt

  • Number of patients = 200

  • Number of significantly mutated genes = 9

  • Number of selected clinical features = 14

  • 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.
