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 79 arm-level events and 10 molecular subtypes across 56 patients, 2 significant findings detected with P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25.

  • 4q loss cnv correlated to 'MIRSEQ_CNMF'.

  • 9p loss cnv correlated to 'RPPA_CHIERARCHICAL'.

Results
Overview of the results

Table 1.  Get Full Table Overview of the association between significant copy number variation of 79 arm-level events and 10 molecular subtypes. Shown in the table are P values (Q values). Thresholded by P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25, 2 significant findings detected.

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/UCS-TP/15107631/transformed.cor.cli.txt

  • Molecular subtypes file = /xchip/cga/gdac-prod/tcga-gdac/jobResults/GDAC_mergedClustering/UCS-TP/15115115/UCS-TP.transferedmergedcluster.txt

  • Number of patients = 56

  • Number of significantly arm-level cnvs = 79

  • Number of molecular subtypes = 10

  • 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.
