Goals

We'd like to learn Recurrent mutations in aspects of

  • Distribution of the recurrent mutations
  • relationship with
    • expression level
    • cohorts (or cancer sub types)
    • etc
  • effects

Distribution

Q. Are recurrent mutations enriched in cancer genes? what about POGs and TSGs
A. Yes they are.

Distribution of different gene types
1<#<5 >5 percent_gt5 enrich
NON_CG 261137 2999 0.0113540 1.000000
POG 5817 205 0.0340418 2.998225
TSG 6891 180 0.0254561 2.242037

*P_value for enrichment are <2.2e-16 by fisher's exact test

Recurrent Mutations and expression

dataset

  • Mutation database - TCGA
  • Expression database
    • TCGA tumor/normal, RNAseq v2 (RSEM)
      • patient-level is also available
    • CCLE average, microarray*
      • used in Mutsigcv (Lawrence et al. 2013)

RNAseq is better than microarray(Mortazavi et al. 2008) CCLE : Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia

Analysis on a cohort level

An overview of the list

A lack of normal tissue expressions
BRCA is choosed

Gene mRNA expression level in BRCA tumor /normal

expression level in BRCA tumor / CCLE average

*CCLE : Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia

recurrence(all cancer) ~ expression level in BRCA tumor

Visual check, TP53 as an example

TP53recurrent mutations across cohorts

next plan

next plan

  • Todo
    • expression level in protein network
  • In progress
    • other cohorts
  • Done
    • mutation,expression downloads
    • lollipop script refinement
