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 6 different clustering approaches and 5 clinical features across 200 patients, 9 significant findings detected with P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25.

3 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'Copy Number Ratio CNMF subtypes'. These subtypes correlate to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.
4 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'METHLYATION CNMF'. These subtypes correlate to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.
CNMF clustering analysis on sequencing-based mRNA expression data identified 3 subtypes that correlate to 'RACE'.
Consensus hierarchical clustering analysis on sequencing-based mRNA expression data identified 6 subtypes that correlate to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.
4 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'MIRSEQ CNMF'. These subtypes correlate to 'Time to Death' and 'YEARS_TO_BIRTH'.
3 subtypes identified in current cancer cohort by 'MIRSEQ CHIERARCHICAL'. These subtypes do not correlate to any clinical features.

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

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

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.
