Overview
Introduction

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

Summary

Testing the association between mutation status of 37 genes and 13 clinical features across 256 patients, 2 significant findings detected with Q value < 0.25.

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

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

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

  • Number of patients = 256

  • Number of significantly mutated genes = 37

  • Number of selected clinical features = 13

  • 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.
