Overview
Introduction

This pipeline computes the correlation between significant arm-level copy number variations (cnvs) and selected clinical features.

Summary

Testing the association between copy number variation 82 arm-level events and 8 clinical features across 570 patients, 14 significant findings detected with Q value < 0.25.

  • 7p gain cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.

  • 7q gain cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.

  • 10p gain cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.

  • 20p gain cnv correlated to 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.

  • 20q gain cnv correlated to 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.

  • 6p loss cnv correlated to 'Time to Death'.

  • 8p loss cnv correlated to 'RACE'.

  • 10p loss cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.

  • 10q loss cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.

Methods & Data
Input
  • Copy number data file = broad_values_by_arm.txt from GISTIC pipeline

  • Processed Copy number data file = /xchip/cga/gdac-prod/tcga-gdac/jobResults/GDAC_Correlate_Genomic_Events_Preprocess/GBM-TP/15096483/transformed.cor.cli.txt

  • Clinical data file = /xchip/cga/gdac-prod/tcga-gdac/jobResults/Append_Data/GBM-TP/15078636/GBM-TP.merged_data.txt

  • Number of patients = 570

  • Number of significantly arm-level cnvs = 82

  • Number of selected clinical features = 8

  • Exclude regions 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

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.
