Q (haiku): In the TCGA Glioblastoma multiforme study compare the median patient age at diagnosis between patients with IDH1 R132H mutation and patients with wild-type IDH1. ▶ read_guide { "uri": "cbioportal://clinical-data-guide" } ◀ result # Clinical Data Query Guide ## Overview Clinical data in cBioPortal is stored at both patient and sample levels. Understanding the distinction is crucial for accurate analysis. ## Data Organization ### Patient-Level vs Sample-Level Data - **Patient-level**: Demographics, overall survival, disease stage (stored once per patient) - **Sample-level**: Sample type, sequencing platform, purity (can have multiple per patient) ### Key Tables - `clinical_patient`: Patient-level clinical attributes - `clinical_sample`: Sample-level clinical attributes - `clinical_data_derived`: Pre-joined view combining both levels - `clinical_attribute_meta`: Metadata about available clinical attributes ## Recommended Approach: Use clinical_data_derived The `clinical_data_derived` table is pre-joined and optimized for most queries: ```sql -- Get clinical data for specific attributes SELECT sample_unique_id, patient_unique_id, attribute_name, attribute_value FROM clinical_data_derived WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id' AND attribute_name IN ('CANCER_TYPE', 'SAMPLE_TYPE', 'TMB_NONSYNONYMOUS'); ``` ## Clinical Attribute Discovery ### Use clinical_attribute_meta for Discovering Available Attributes **Always start here** to see what clinical attributes are available for a specific study: ```sql -- Discover available clinical attributes for a study SELECT attr_id, description, patient_attribute, cancer_study_id FROM clinical_attribute_meta WHERE cancer_study_id = ( SELECT cancer_study_id FROM cancer_study WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id' ) ORDER BY patient_attribute, attr_id; ``` **Key Fields:** - **attr_id**: matches attr_id in clinical_sample/clinical_patient tables - **description**: human-readable description of the attribute - **patient_attribute**: true = patient attribute, false = sample attribute - **cancer_study_id**: links to cancer_study table (filter by study) ## Attribute Semantics and Matching ### Case-Insensitive Matching for Attribute Values Clinical values are free text across studies and may differ only by case. For example, a controlled-looking value such as germline mutation status may appear as `GERMLINE`, `Germline`, or another case variant. When filtering `clinical_data_derived.attribute_value`, use case-insensitive matching unless you have already profiled the exact values in the target study: ```sql -- Correct: case-insensitive clinical value filter SELECT DISTINCT sample_unique_id, patient_unique_id FROM clinical_data_derived WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id' AND attribute_name = 'MUTATION_STATUS' AND upper(attribute_value) = 'GERMLINE'; ``` Do not write `attribute_value = 'GERMLINE'` without first checking all distinct values for that attribute in the study. ### Query the Requested Attribute, Not a Proxy Do not infer one clinical attribute from a related subtype or marker. Query the actual requested attribute when it … (17073 more chars) ▶ read_guide { "uri": "cbioportal://statistical-tests-guide" } ◀ result Statistical Test Selection Guide ================================ Purpose ------- This guide ensures the correct statistical test is selected before performing any group comparison, matching cBioPortal's own Group Comparison defaults. HARD RULES — NEVER FABRICATE A STATISTIC ---------------------------------------- ClickHouse cannot run statistical tests. The agent therefore must NEVER produce a derived statistic that is not a literal column value from a SQL result. Specifically: 1. **Never invent a p-value.** Not "p < 0.001", not "p ≈ 0.05", not any p-value. If the user asks "what is the p-value?", the answer is *"I can't compute that — here is the 2x2 contingency table (or group statistics). Run it in cBioPortal's Group Comparison tab, in R with `fisher.test(...)` / `wilcox.test(...)`, or in Python with `scipy.stats.fisher_exact(...)` / `mannwhitneyu(...)`."* 2. **Never claim mutual exclusivity (or co-occurrence) from a contingency table alone.** A 2x2 table is not a test. The shape "altered/not altered × group A/group B" needs Fisher's exact + a defined direction (odds ratio < 1 with significant p). Without that test, the agent presents the table and stops. Descriptive phrasing is also a claim: "largely/mostly mutually exclusive", "rarely co-occur", "tend to co-occur" are forbidden without the test — point to cBioPortal's Mutual Exclusivity tab instead. 3. **Never report a "median" that came from `AVG(...)` or any non-median aggregate.** "Median" and "mean" are different statistics; for skewed clinical distributions (especially survival) they differ substantially. Use ClickHouse's `quantile(0.5)(...)` for actual median, and label arithmetic averages as "mean", never "median". 4. **Never report a hazard ratio, odds ratio, risk ratio, or relative risk** that wasn't computed by an external tool. These require regression / model fitting that ClickHouse does not do. 5. **Never report median overall survival from `AVG(OS_MONTHS)` or even `quantile(0.5)(OS_MONTHS)`.** Median OS requires Kaplan-Meier estimation, which handles censoring (`OS_STATUS = 0:LIVING` means the event hasn't happened yet). Naive medians/means over `OS_MONTHS` ignore censoring and are systematically wrong. The correct handoff: return the raw `(OS_MONTHS, OS_STATUS)` pairs (or descriptive counts: N events, N censored, follow-up range) and tell the user to run KM in R (`survival::survfit`) or Python (`lifelines.KaplanMeierFitter`), or use cBioPortal's Survival comparison. If asked to do any of (1)–(5), respond with the appropriate handoff template from the "Approved Response Templates" section below — do not produce the number. Ambiguous-Term Clarification (before any analysis) -------------------------------------------------- If the user's question uses an ambiguous term, ask before computing anything. Examples: - **"aggressive"** → could mean shorter overall survival, higher metastasis rate, higher grade/stage, higher TMB, or specific molecular features. Ask which definit … (9984 more chars) ▶ resolve_and_route { "studyKeywords": "[\"TCGA\", \"glioblastoma\"]" } ✗ error Error: No such tool available: mcp__claude_ai_cBioPortal_MCP__resolve_and_route ▶ resolve_and_route { "studyKeywords": [ "TCGA", "glioblastoma" ] } ◀ result {"success":true,"message":"Found 5 matching studies.

Now let me present the findings to the user: --- ## Median Age at Diagnosis: IDH1 R132H vs Wild-Type in TCGA GBM ### Query Results In the **TCGA Glioblastoma Multiforme (PanCancer Atlas)** study, there is a substantial age difference between IDH1 R132H mutant and wild-type patients: | IDH1 Status | N Patients | N with Age Data | **Median Age** | Mean Age | Range | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | **IDH1 R132H Mutant** | 22 | 17 | **40 years** | 38.94 | 21–60 | | **IDH1 Wild-type** | 563 | 280 | **61 years** | 60.78 | 10–89 | ### Key Findings - **IDH1 R132H-mutant patients have a median age of 40 years**, compared to **61 years for wild-type patients** — a **21-year difference**. - IDH1 R132H mutations are enriched in younger GBM patients (21–60 year range vs. 10–89 year range for wild-type). - Sample sizes: 17 R132H-mutant patients with age data vs. 280 wild-type patients with age data. ### Statistical Note This is a **clinical numeric comparison between 2 groups** (ages are continuous data). The appropriate test is the **Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Mann-Whitney U)**, which does not assume normality and handles potential outliers well. **I cannot compute p-values** — ClickHouse has no built-in statistical functions. To test whether this age difference is statistically significant: - Use **cBioPortal's Group Comparison → Clinical tab** (linked below) - Or run in **R**: `wilcox.test(age_r132h, age_wt)` - Or run in **Python**: `scipy.stats.mannwhitneyu(age_r132h, age_wt)` --- ### View Clinical Data in cBioPortal [Explore TCGA GBM clinical data](https://www.cbioportal.org/study/clinicalData?id=gbm_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018) This clinical data table lets you inspect the full distribution of ages, search for additional clinical attributes, and cross-tabulate IDH1 status with patient demographics. To filter by IDH1 status in the portal, look for the IDH1_MUTATION clinical attribute in the attribute filter panel.
