Breast Invasive Carcinoma: Correlation between molecular cancer subtypes and selected clinical features
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 10 different clustering approaches and 4 clinical features across 866 patients, 13 significant findings detected with P value < 0.05.

  • CNMF clustering analysis on array-based mRNA expression data identified 8 subtypes that correlate to 'AGE'.

  • Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on array-based mRNA expression data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'AGE'.

  • 5 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'CN CNMF'. These subtypes correlate to 'GENDER'.

  • 6 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'METHLYATION CNMF'. These subtypes correlate to 'AGE' and 'GENDER'.

  • CNMF clustering analysis on RPPA data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'Time to Death' and 'AGE'.

  • Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on RPPA data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'AGE'.

  • CNMF clustering analysis on sequencing-based mRNA expression data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'AGE'.

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

  • CNMF clustering analysis on sequencing-based miR expression data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'Time to Death' and 'AGE'.

  • Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on sequencing-based miR expression data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'AGE'.

Methods & Data
Input
  • Cluster data file = BRCA-TP.mergedcluster.txt

  • Clinical data file = BRCA-TP.clin.merged.picked.txt

  • Number of patients = 866

  • Number of clustering approaches = 10

  • Number of selected clinical features = 4

  • 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

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

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
