Skin Cutaneous Melanoma: Correlation between gene mutation status and molecular subtypes
(WT cohort)
Maintained by TCGA GDAC Team (Broad Institute/MD Anderson Cancer Center/Harvard Medical School)
Overview
Introduction

This pipeline computes the correlation between significantly recurrent gene mutations and molecular subtypes.

Summary

Testing the association between mutation status of 8 genes and 8 molecular subtypes across 34 patients, no significant finding detected with P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25.

  • No gene mutations related to molecuar subtypes.

Methods & Data
Input
  • Mutation data file = SKCM-WT.mutsig.cluster.txt

  • Molecular subtypes file = SKCM-WT.transferedmergedcluster.txt

  • Number of patients = 34

  • Number of significantly mutated genes = 8

  • Number of Molecular subtypes = 8

  • 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.
