Methods & Data
Input
  • Mutation data file = sample_sig_gene_table.txt from Mutsig_2CV pipeline

  • Processed Mutation data file = /xchip/cga/gdac-prod/tcga-gdac/jobResults/GDAC_Correlate_Genomic_Events_Preprocess/DLBC-TP/22573828/transformed.cor.cli.txt

  • Clinical data file = /xchip/cga/gdac-prod/tcga-gdac/jobResults/Append_Data/DLBC-TP/22506396/DLBC-TP.merged_data.txt

  • Number of patients = 48

  • Number of significantly mutated genes = 36

  • Number of selected clinical features = 8

  • 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

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.
