Overview
Introduction

This pipeline uses various statistical tests to identify mRNAs whose log2 expression levels correlated to selected clinical features. The input file "CPTAC3-LUAD-TP.mRNA_RPKM_log2_norm_protein_coding.txt" is generated in the pipeline mRNAseq_Preprocess in the stddata run.

Summary

Testing the association between 18099 genes and 17 clinical features across 111 samples, statistically thresholded by P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.3, 13 clinical features related to at least one genes.

Methods & Data
Input

- Expresson data file = CPTAC3-LUAD-TP.mRNA_RPKM_log2_norm_protein_coding.txt

- Clinical data file = CPTAC3-LUAD-TP.clin.merged.picked.txt

- Number of patients = 111

- Number of genes = 18099

- Number of clinical features = 17

Selected clinical features

- Further details on clinical features selected for this analysis, please find a documentation on selected CDEs (Clinical Data Elements). The first column of the file is a formula to convert values and the second column is a clinical parameter name.

- There are also useful links about clinical features.

- Survival time data

- Survival time data is a combined value of days_to_death and days_to_last_followup. For each patient, it creates a combined value 'days_to_death_or_last_fup' using conversion process below.

- if 'vital_status'==1(dead), 'days_to_last_followup' is always NA. Thus, uses 'days_to_death' value for 'days_to_death_or_fup'

- if 'vital_status'==0(alive),

- if 'days_to_death'==NA & 'days_to_last_followup'!=NA, uses 'days_to_last_followup' value for 'days_to_death_or_fup'

- if 'days_to_death'!=NA, excludes this case in survival analysis and report the case.

- if 'vital_status'==NA,excludes this case in survival analysis and report the case.

- cf. In certain diesase types such as SKCM, days_to_death parameter is replaced with time_from_specimen_dx or time_from_specimen_procurement_to_death .

- This analysis excluded clinical variables that has only NA values.

Survival analysis

For survival clinical features, logrank test in univariate Cox regression analysis with proportional hazards model (Andersen and Gill 1982) was used to estimate the P values comparing quantile intervals using the 'coxph' function in R. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted using quantile intervals at c(0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1). If there is only one interval group, it will not try survival analysis.

Correlation analysis

For continuous numerical clinical features, Spearman's rank correlation coefficients (Spearman 1904) and two-tailed P values were estimated using 'cor.test' function in R

Wilcoxon rank sum test (Mann-Whitney U test)

For two groups (mutant or wild-type) of continuous type of clinical data, wilcoxon rank sum test (Mann and Whitney, 1947) was applied to compare their mean difference using 'wilcox.test(continuous.clinical ~ as.factor(group), exact=FALSE)' function in R. This test is equivalent to the Mann-Whitney test.

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.
