This pipeline computes the correlation between APOBRC groups and selected clinical features.
Testing the association between APOBEC groups identified by 2 different apobec score and 15 clinical features across 185 patients, 3 significant findings detected with Q value < 0.25.
-
3 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'APOBEC MUTLOAD MINESTIMATE'. These subtypes correlate to 'PATHOLOGY_N_STAGE' and 'HISTOLOGICAL_TYPE'.
-
3 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'APOBEC ENRICH'. These subtypes correlate to 'HISTOLOGICAL_TYPE'.

APOBEC classification based on APOBEC_MutLoad_MinEstimate : a. APOBEC non group -- samples with zero value, b. APOBEC high group -- samples above median value in non zero samples, c. APOBEC low group -- samples below median value in non zero samples.
APOBEC classification based on APOBEC_enrich : a. No Enrichmment group -- all samples with BH_Fisher_p-value_tCw > 0.05, b. Low enrichment group -- samples with BH_Fisher_p-value_tCw = < 0.05 and APOBEC_enrich=<2, c. High enrichment group -- samples with BH_Fisher_p-value_tCw =< 0.05 and APOBEC_enrich>2.
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
For binary clinical features, two-tailed Fisher's exact tests (Fisher 1922) were used to estimate the P values using the 'fisher.test' function in R
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.
