Overview
Introduction

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

Summary

Testing the association between copy number variation 72 arm-level events and 8 molecular subtypes across 87 patients, 12 significant findings detected with P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25.

  • 3q gain cnv correlated to 'CN_CNMF'.

  • 12p gain cnv correlated to 'CN_CNMF'.

  • 12q gain cnv correlated to 'CN_CNMF'.

  • 4p loss cnv correlated to 'CN_CNMF'.

  • 4q loss cnv correlated to 'CN_CNMF'.

  • 9p loss cnv correlated to 'CN_CNMF'.

  • 14q loss cnv correlated to 'CN_CNMF',  'MRNASEQ_CNMF',  'MRNASEQ_CHIERARCHICAL', and 'MIRSEQ_MATURE_CHIERARCHICAL'.

  • 22q loss cnv correlated to 'METHLYATION_CNMF'.

  • xq loss cnv correlated to 'METHLYATION_CNMF'.

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

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

  • Number of patients = 87

  • Number of significantly arm-level cnvs = 72

  • Number of molecular subtypes = 8

  • 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

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.
