# Mutation Frequency Analysis Guide

## IMPORTANT: Reporting Mutation Frequencies
- **ALWAYS report frequencies as percentages**, not raw counts: `frequency = (altered_samples / total_profiled_samples) × 100`
- For quick frequency lookups, **prefer the TCGA Pan-Cancer Atlas study first**, then offer to expand to other studies
- When reporting across multiple studies, show **ranges** (e.g., "TP53 is mutated in 30–60% of samples") rather than a single average
- **NEVER** sum mutation events across studies to compute an aggregate frequency — this can exceed 100% due to double-counting
- Warn users that samples may overlap across cohorts (e.g., MSK studies may share patients)
- **Choose and state the counting unit**: use patient-level frequencies for prevalence/rate questions unless the user explicitly asks for samples; use sample-level frequencies when the user asks about samples.
- **For "across cancer types" questions**, jump to the [Cross-Cancer-Type Mutation Frequency](#cross-cancer-type-mutation-frequency) section below — there is one correct recipe and several common wrong ones.

## Counting Unit: Samples vs Patients

Before answering any mutation count or frequency question, decide whether the unit is samples or patients and state that choice in the answer.

| User wording | Counting unit |
|--------------|---------------|
| "prevalence", "rate", "fraction of patients", "patients with", "how common is" | Patient-level: `COUNT(DISTINCT patient_unique_id)` |
| "samples", "specimens", "biopsies", sample-level cohort composition | Sample-level: `COUNT(DISTINCT sample_unique_id)` |
| Ambiguous | Ask, or default to patient-level for prevalence/rate language and say so |

### Cross-study sample-count caveat

When an answer touches more than one study and reports a sample count, prepend a one-line caveat:

> Sample IDs are unique within cBioPortal study prefixes, not guaranteed biological-sample identifiers across studies; overlapping cohorts can count the same patient/sample more than once.

Prefer one of these safer approaches:

- Use a shipped `cancer_study_query_preferences` cohort such as `pan_cancer_tcga` or `all_studies_non_redundant`.
- Restrict to one named study.
- Aggregate by `patient_unique_id` when the biological question is patient prevalence.

## STOP rule: a frequency above 100% means your query is wrong

If your query returns a frequency over 100%, **do not try to debug or explain the data inconsistency to the user**. The cause is always one of these query bugs:

- Summing mutation events instead of `COUNT(DISTINCT sample_unique_id)` for the numerator
- Using a study-wide sample count as the denominator instead of the gene-specific profiled count
- Cross-study aggregation where the same biological sample appears under multiple `sample_unique_id` values (e.g., MSK-IMPACT and MSK-CHORD share patients)
- **Joining the profiled CTE through `gene_panel` / `gene_panel_list` without a WES branch.** `gene_panel_id = 'WES'` is *not* a row in … (35166 more chars)

### 16. 🚨 SILENT QUERY SUBSTITUTION ("did you mean...")

When the user's wording differs from canonical terminology (e.g. "V600V" looks like "V600E" with a typo, or "point mutation" sounds like "missense"), it is forbidden to silently rewrite the question and answer the rewritten version. Doing so produces an answer that looks confident but is for a different question — the user cannot tell what was changed.

#### ❌ Wrong: silently substitute

> User: *"Find patients in colorectal cancer with the V600V alteration in BRAF"*
> Agent: *(internally treats this as V600E)* "I found 412 samples with BRAF V600E in colorectal studies..."

> User: *"What is the most prevalent TP53 mutation in uterine cancer that is not a point mutation?"*
> Agent: *(internally treats "point mutation" = "missense", silently excludes only missense)* "The most prevalent non-missense TP53 mutation is..."

#### ✅ Correct: answer the literal question, flag any normalization

For an unusual-looking variant the user may have typed deliberately:
- Query for what was asked, literally.
- If 0 rows come back, **explain *why* zero is the expected answer** before suggesting a likely-intended alternative. For synonymous variants (e.g. BRAF V600V, TP53 R175R), the explanation is: *cBioPortal's mutation tables filter out synonymous (silent) variants in most studies, so 0 hits means "filtered upstream", not "no such variant exists in any patient"*. Then ask: *"Did you mean V600E (the canonical activating variant)? Or would you like me to look for V600V in the studies that do retain synonymous calls?"*
- If the wording is ambiguous (e.g. "point mutation"), ask the user which definition they meant before querying — do not pick one silently.

#### Mutation-type terminology mapping (use this to disambiguate)

| User says | Canonical definition | `mutation_type` filter |
|---|---|---|
| "point mutation" | Any SNV (single-nucleotide variant) — includes missense, nonsense, synonymous, splice-site SNVs | `mutation_type IN ('Missense_Mutation','Nonsense_Mutation','Silent','Splice_Site')` — **but ask the user to confirm scope first** |
| "missense" | Single amino-acid substitution that changes the protein | `mutation_type = 'Missense_Mutation'` |
| "nonsense" / "stop-gain" | Premature stop codon | `mutation_type = 'Nonsense_Mutation'` |
| "synonymous" / "silent" | Nucleotide change with no amino-acid change | `mutation_type = 'Silent'` (**often filtered out of public datasets** — see below) |
| "splice site" | Mutation in canonical splice acceptor/donor | `mutation_type = 'Splice_Site'` |
| "frameshift" | Indel changing reading frame | `mutation_type IN ('Frame_Shift_Ins','Frame_Shift_Del')` |
| "indel" / "in-frame" | In-frame insertion or deletion | `mutation_type IN ('In_Frame_Ins','In_Frame_Del')` |
| "truncating" | Anything that disrupts the protein early | `mutation_type IN ('Nonsense_Mutation','Frame_Shift_Ins','Frame_Shift_Del','Splice_Site','Nonstop_Mutation')` |

**[View C228T Melanoma vs Thyroid Cancer Group Comparison](https://www.cbioportal.org/comparison/clinical?comparisonId=6ab5c6e2c2115c492d884e01)**

Clinical attribute distributions compared across Melanoma (skcm_tcga_pub_2015) (25 samples) vs Thyroid Cancer (thca_tcga_pub) (27 samples).

*Note: melanoma group shows 25 samples in the comparison view (vs. 27 in the raw clinical data query above) — likely due to sample-list/profiling restrictions applied by the comparison tool.*

Individual filtered cohort links:
- **[Melanoma C228T samples](https://www.cbioportal.org/study?id=skcm_tcga_pub_2015#filterJson=%7B%22clinicalDataFilters%22%3A%5B%7B%22attributeId%22%3A%22TERT_PROMOTER_MUTATION%22%2C%22values%22%3A%5B%7B%22value%22%3A%22C228T%22%7D%5D%7D%5D%7D)**

Since only 2 cancer types in this deployment carry explicit C228T annotation, a true multi-cancer histogram isn't currently buildable from the database — the comparison view above is the closest visual "histogram-style" side-by-side available.
