Correlation between copy number variation genes (focal) and selected clinical features
Overview
Introduction

This pipeline computes the correlation between significant copy number variation (cnv focal) genes and selected clinical features.

Summary

Testing the association between copy number variation 70 arm-level results and 6 clinical features across 552 patients, 15 significant findings detected with Q value < 0.25.

  • Amp Peak 8(7p11.2) cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'AGE'.

  • Amp Peak 9(7q11.21) cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'AGE'.

  • Amp Peak 10(7q21.2) cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • Del Peak 19(9p21.3) cnv correlated to 'AGE'.

  • Del Peak 21(10p15.3) cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'AGE'.

  • Del Peak 22(10p13) cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'AGE'.

  • Del Peak 23(10p11.23) cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'AGE'.

  • Del Peak 24(10q23.31) cnv correlated to 'Time to Death' and 'AGE'.

Methods & Data
Input
  • Mutation data file = all_lesions.conf_99.cnv.cluster.txt

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

  • Number of patients = 552

  • Number of significantly arm-level cnvs = 70

  • Number of selected clinical features = 6

  • 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

Student's t-test analysis

For continuous numerical clinical features, two-tailed Student's t test with unequal variance (Lehmann and Romano 2005) was applied to compare the clinical values between tumors with and without gene mutations using 't.test' 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.
