# Gene Resolution Guide

Use this guide before querying gene expression, mutation, copy-number, methylation, or structural-variant data when the user's gene term may be ambiguous.

## Routing Triggers

Read this guide when the user mentions:

- a gene family shorthand: `CD3`, `HLA`, `KRT`, `MUC`, `MT-`, `IGH`, `IGK`, `IGL`
- a marker name that may refer to multiple genes or proteins
- a gene alias, old symbol, or informal name
- a wildcard-like term such as "all CD3 genes"

These examples are not exhaustive. Apply this guide to any gene term that may resolve to multiple symbols, aliases, paralogs, family members, or marker genes.

## Core Rule

Do not silently aggregate multiple genes when the user names an ambiguous symbol. Either ask for clarification or choose a clearly standard marker and state the choice.

For example, "CD3 expression" can refer to `CD3D`, `CD3E`, or `CD3G`; in many immune-marker contexts `CD3E` is the standard marker, but the agent must not average all CD3 genes unless the user asks for a combined signature.

## Gene Discovery Query

After validating the gene table exists, search exact symbols first, then prefix/alias-like matches:

```sql
SELECT
    hugo_gene_symbol,
    entrez_gene_id
FROM gene
WHERE upper(hugo_gene_symbol) = upper('CD3')
   OR upper(hugo_gene_symbol) LIKE upper('CD3%')
ORDER BY hugo_gene_symbol
LIMIT 50;
```

If aliases are available in this deployment, inspect the relevant alias table before assuming no match. If no alias table exists, state that alias resolution is limited to available gene symbols.

## Answer Pattern

If multiple plausible genes are found:

> "CD3" is ambiguous in cBioPortal gene-symbol terms. I found `CD3D`, `CD3E`, and `CD3G`. Did you mean `CD3E` as a T-cell marker, or should I analyze all three separately?

If the user clearly asks for a combined family/signature:

- report each gene separately by default
- only compute an average/signature if the user explicitly requests it
- state exactly how the combined value was calculated

## Do Not

- Do not average multiple genes into one expression value without explicit permission.
- Do not rewrite an ambiguous symbol to a single gene without telling the user.
- Do not treat a prefix match as a validated gene symbol.

# Gene Expression Analysis Guide

This guide covers continuous-value genomic data: gene **expression**, **copy number** values, **methylation**, and related profile types. Mutation/CNA/SV *frequency* analysis lives in `cbioportal://mutation-frequency-guide`.

## Where this data lives

Continuous per-sample-per-gene values are stored in `genetic_alteration_derived`:

| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| `sample_unique_id` | `<study>_<sample_stable_id>` |
| `cancer_study_identifier` | study scope |
| `hugo_gene_symbol` | gene |
| `profile_type` | which assay/normalization (see below) |
| `alteration_value` | the actual value — stored as Nullable(String); cast with `toFloat64OrNull` |

`alteration_value` is a string because the same column hosts many different value scales. The `''` and `'NA'` sentinels mean "missing"; always filter them out and use `toFloat64OrNull(alteration_value) IS NOT NULL` for downstream math.

## Discovering profile types for a study

Different studies expose different profile types depending on what assays were run and how the data was normalized. Always check what a specific study supports before picking one:

```sql
SELECT DISTINCT profile_type
FROM genetic_alteration_derived
WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'brca_metabric'
ORDER BY profile_type;
```

Common values across the public portal:

| Family | Profile types |
|---|---|
| mRNA expression | `mrna`, `mrna_median_Zscores`, `mrna_seq_v2_rsem`, `mrna_seq_v2_rsem_Zscores`, `mrna_seq_cpm`, `mrna_seq_fpkm`, `mrna_U133`, `mrna_outliers` |
| Copy number (continuous) | `cna`, `linear_CNA`, `log2CNA`, `cna_consensus`, `cna_rae`, `gistic` |
| Methylation | `methylation_hm27`, `methylation_hm450`, `methylation_epic`, `methylation_promoters_rrbs` |
| miRNA | `mirna`, `mirna_median_Zscores` |
| Protein | `protein_quantification`, `protein_level`, `RPPA` |

**Z-score vs raw choice.** When the user asks "is X correlated with Y", either works for Spearman (rank-based) — Pearson would care. Default to the non-Z-score variant if both exist, and call out which one in the response.

## Canonical recipe — Spearman correlation between two genes

```sql
SELECT *
FROM gene_pair_coexpression(
    study        = 'brca_metabric',
    gene_a       = 'TP53',
    gene_b       = 'MYC',
    profile_type = 'mrna'
);
```

Returns one row: `(gene_a, gene_b, profile_type, spearman_correlation, num_samples)`.

- `spearman_correlation` in [−1, 1]; `NULL` when fewer than 3 valid paired samples.
- Mirrors cbioportal-backend's `ClickhouseCoExpressionMapper.getCoExpressions`, simplified to a pair lookup (the backend computes one ref gene vs ALL other genes for the coexpression page; here the agent asks about a specific pair).

### Verified examples

| Study | gene_a | gene_b | profile_type | spearman | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `brca_metabric` | TP53 | MYC | `mrna` | 0.118 | 1980 |
| `brca_metabric` | ESR1 | PGR | `mrna` | 0.487 | 1980 |

# Sample and Study Filtering Guide

## Overview
Proper filtering is essential for meaningful cBioPortal analysis. This guide covers filtering by studies, sample types, and other criteria.

## Study-Level Filtering

### 1. Always Filter by Study
Every query should specify a study to ensure consistent results:

```sql
-- Always include study filtering
SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE
    cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id'
    -- Additional filters...
```

### 2. Find Available Studies

```sql
-- Discover available studies
SELECT
    cancer_study_identifier,
    name,
    description,
    type_of_cancer_id
FROM cancer_study
ORDER BY cancer_study_identifier;
```

### 3. Study Information

```sql
-- Get detailed study information
SELECT
    cs.cancer_study_identifier,
    cs.name as study_name,
    cs.description,
    cs.sample_count,
    COUNT(DISTINCT p.internal_id) as patient_count
FROM cancer_study cs
LEFT JOIN patient p ON cs.cancer_study_id = p.cancer_study_id
WHERE
    cs.cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id'
GROUP BY cs.cancer_study_identifier, cs.name, cs.description, cs.sample_count;
```

### 4. Find Studies by Available Data Types

Use this when the user asks *"which studies have mutation and copy-number data for X"*, *"studies with expression for Y"*, *"is there any imaging data"*, or any *"studies with Z data"* question. `cancer_study` has one precomputed sample count per data type — filter on them. No join and no schema exploration needed. These are the same counts as the portal's study list and its "Data type" filter.

**Canonical query — studies with ALL requested data types for a cancer type:**

```sql
SELECT
    cancer_study_identifier,
    name,
    sample_count,
    mutation_sample_count,
    cna_sample_count
FROM cancer_study
WHERE type_of_cancer_id = 'luad'          -- ← OncoTree code from search_oncotree
  AND mutation_sample_count > 0           -- ← one condition per required data type
  AND cna_sample_count > 0
ORDER BY sample_count DESC;
```

**Data type → column** (a count of 0 means the study doesn't have that data):

| Data type in the user's question | Column (portal "Data type" filter label) |
|---|---|
| samples in the study | `sample_count` |
| mutation / mutations | `mutation_sample_count` ("Mutations") |
| copy-number / CNA / amplification / deletion | `cna_sample_count` ("CNA") |
| structural variant / fusion | `structural_variant_sample_count` |
| RNA / mRNA / gene expression (any platform) | `mrna_expression_sample_count` — use this for "which studies have expression data" |
| specifically the portal's "RNA-Seq" filter | `rna_seq_sample_count` ("RNA-Seq") — counts only the `<study>_rna_seq_v2_mrna` list; 0 for many GDC and iAtlas studies that do have RNA-Seq |
| specifically the portal's "RNA (microarray)" filter | `mrna_microarray_sample_count` ("RNA (microarray)") — counts only the `<study>_mrna` list |
| microRNA | `mirna_sample_count` ("miRNA") |
| protein / RPPA | `rppa_sample_count` ("RPPA") |
| mas … (7083 more chars)

See `_tcga_pancan_template.md` for common TCGA clinical attributes.

## Study-Specific Attributes

### Not available in this study
- **Smoking history / pack-years**: no smoking attribute. Say smoking status is not available here rather than inferring it.
- **EGFR / KRAS / ALK status**: no clinical status attributes. Derive EGFR and KRAS status from mutation data, and ALK fusions from structural-variant data (5 samples with an ALK SV in `genomic_event_derived`).
- `SUBTYPE` is `LUAD` (502) or blank (64) and carries no molecular subtype. `GRADE` is blank for all samples.

## Key Genes - Driver Mutations
| Gene | Frequency | Notes |
|------|-----------|-------|
| KRAS | ~30% | G12C targetable with sotorasib/adagrasib |
| EGFR | ~15% | L858R, exon 19 del targetable with TKIs |
| ALK | ~5% | Fusions targetable with crizotinib, etc. |
| BRAF | ~5% | V600E targetable |
| ROS1 | ~2% | Fusions targetable |
| RET | ~2% | Fusions targetable |
| MET | ~3% | Exon 14 skipping, amplification |

## Notes
- Driver mutations are largely mutually exclusive
- STK11 and KEAP1 mutations associated with poor immunotherapy response

# 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)

═ answer (success)
## Yes — this cohort exists in TCGA Lung Adenocarcinoma (PanCancer Atlas)

Using **`luad_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018`** (566 samples, WES, NSCLC/adenocarcinoma subtype where KRAS mutations predominate):

| Filter step | Samples |
|---|---|
| KRAS-mutant | 168 / 566 (29.7%) |
| KRAS-mutant **AND** TP53 wild-type | 106 / 168 |
| ...with mRNA (RNA-Seq Z-score) data available | 100 / 106 |
| ...**and** high MYC expression (z-score ≥ 1.5) | **10 samples** |
| ...**and** high MYC expression (z-score ≥ 2.0, stricter) | **7 samples** |

The 7 highest-confidence samples (MYC z-score ≥ 2.0): TCGA-05-4250-01 (z=4.54), TCGA-MP-A4T8-01 (z=4.15), TCGA-95-A4VN-01 (z=3.19), TCGA-86-8076-01 (z=3.13), TCGA-49-4506-01 (z=2.66), TCGA-75-5126-01 (z=2.49), TCGA-NJ-A4YP-01 (z=2.03).

**Caveat:** "TP53 wild-type" here means no reported mutation in the WES mutation calls (samples were fully profiled, so this is a true WT designation, not just "unprofiled"). "High MYC" is defined via mRNA z-score thresholds — I used ≥1.5 and ≥2.0 as reasonable "high expression" cutoffs since no standard threshold was specified; adjust as needed.
