Skin Cutaneous Melanoma: Correlation between molecular cancer subtypes and selected clinical features
(Regional_Metastatic cohort)
Maintained by TCGA GDAC Team (Broad Institute/MD Anderson Cancer Center/Harvard Medical School)
Overview
Introduction

This pipeline computes the correlation between cancer subtypes identified by different molecular patterns and selected clinical features.

Summary

Testing the association between subtypes identified by 8 different clustering approaches and 8 clinical features across 152 patients, 3 significant findings detected with P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25.

  • 4 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'Copy Number Ratio CNMF subtypes'. These subtypes do not correlate to any clinical features.

  • 3 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'METHLYATION CNMF'. These subtypes do not correlate to any clinical features.

  • CNMF clustering analysis on RPPA data identified 3 subtypes that do not correlate to any clinical features.

  • Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on RPPA data identified 4 subtypes that do not correlate to any clinical features.

  • CNMF clustering analysis on sequencing-based mRNA expression data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'PRIMARY.SITE.OF.DISEASE'.

  • Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on sequencing-based mRNA expression data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'PRIMARY.SITE.OF.DISEASE'.

  • 3 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'MIRSEQ CNMF'. These subtypes correlate to 'PRIMARY.SITE.OF.DISEASE'.

  • 3 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'MIRSEQ CHIERARCHICAL'. These subtypes do not correlate to any clinical features.

Methods & Data
Input
  • Cluster data file = SKCM-Regional_Metastatic.mergedcluster.txt

  • Clinical data file = SKCM-Regional_Metastatic.clin.merged.picked.txt

  • Number of patients = 152

  • Number of clustering approaches = 8

  • Number of selected clinical features = 8

  • Exclude small clusters that include fewer than K patients, K = 3

Clustering approaches
CNMF clustering

consensus non-negative matrix factorization clustering approach (Brunet et al. 2004)

Consensus hierarchical clustering

Resampling-based clustering method (Monti et al. 2003)

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

ANOVA analysis

For continuous numerical clinical features, one-way analysis of variance (Howell 2002) was applied to compare the clinical values between tumor subtypes using 'anova' function in R

Fisher's exact test

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

Chi-square test

For multi-class clinical features (nominal or ordinal), Chi-square tests (Greenwood and Nikulin 1996) were used to estimate the P values using the 'chisq.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.
