This is the MSK clinical genomics lung adenocarcinoma cohort with `SMOKING_HISTORY` annotated as "Ever Smoker" / "Never Smoker" (no distinct "Unknown" category exists in this attribute — all 604 samples have a known status). **⚠️ Oncogenic filter caveat:** I queried the `driver_filter` (OncoKB oncogenicity) column in `genomic_event_derived` for KRAS/STK11/KEAP1/TP53 mutations in this study, and it is **empty/unannotated** for all 645 mutation records — this deployment does not have precomputed OncoKB driver calls for this cohort. I cannot confirm "oncogenic-only" counts via SQL. The OncoPrint page linked below will show **all somatic alterations** in these four genes; you will need to apply the "Annotate > OncoKB oncogenic" driver filter live in the web UI (via the mutations table filter icon or `MUT_DRIVER` OQL) to restrict to oncogenic-only calls, since that annotation is computed by OncoKB's live service in the frontend, not stored in this SQL table. **Somatic-only:** Confirmed — this study's mutation records are all `mutation_status = 'SOMATIC'` (no germline calls present for these genes), so no additional somatic filter was needed.
