Q (haiku): Is there a cohort of NSCLC patient samples that have Kras mutations, wild-type p53, and high expression levels of c-Myc? ▶ read_guide { "uri": "cbioportal://mutation-frequency-guide" } ▶ read_guide { "uri": "cbioportal://sample-filtering-guide" } ▶ search_oncotree { "search_term": "NSCLC" } ◀ result # 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) ◀ result # 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 `_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 `_mrna` list | | microRNA | `mirna_sample_count` ("miRNA") | | protein / RPPA | `rppa_sample_count` ("RPPA") | | mas … (7083 more chars) ◀ result {"result":[{"code":"NSCLC","name":"Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer","score":100,"mainType":"Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer","tissue":"Lung","hierarchy":"LUNG > NSCLC"},{"code":"NSCLCPD","name":"Poorly Differentiated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer","score":70,"mainType":"Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer","tissue":"Lung","hierarchy":"LUNG > NSCLC > NSCLCPD"}]} ▶ clickhouse_list_tables {} ▶ resolve_and_route { "studyKeywords": [ "NSCLC", "lung" ] } ◀ result {"tables":[{"name":"allele_specific_copy_number"},{"name":"alteration_driver_annotation"},{"name":"cancer_study"},{"name":"cancer_study_query_preferences"},{"name":"cancer_study_tags"},{"name":"cbioportal_sequence_state"},{"name":"clinical_attribute_counts"},{"name":"clinical_attribute_meta"},{"name":"clinical_data_derived"},{"name":"clinical_event"},{"name":"clinical_event_data"},{"name":"clinical_event_data_derived"},{"name":"clinical_event_derived"},{"name":"clinical_patient"},{"name":"clinical_sample"},{"name":"cna_event"},{"name":"cna_panel_gene_coverage"},{"name":"cna_wes_coverage"},{"name":"co_altered_genes_in_study"},{"name":"copy_number_seg"},{"name":"copy_number_seg_file"},{"name":"gene"},{"name":"gene_alias"},{"name":"gene_alteration_frequency_by_cancer_type"},{"name":"gene_cna_distribution_in_study"},{"name":"gene_mutation_frequency_by_cancer_type"},{"name":"gene_mutation_frequency_in_studies"},{"name":"gene_mutation_frequency_in_study"},{"name":"gene_mutation_variants_in_study"},{"name":"gene_pair_coexpression"},{"name":"gene_panel"},{"name":"gene_panel_list"},{"name":"gene_panel_to_gene_derived"},{"name":"generic_assay_data_derived"},{"name":"generic_assay_meta_derived"},{"name":"generic_assay_profile_entity_derived"},{"name":"generic_entity_properties"},{"name":"geneset"},{"name":"geneset_gene"},{"name":"geneset_hierarchy_leaf"},{"name":"geneset_hierarchy_node"},{"name":"genetic_alteration"},{"name":"genetic_alteration_derived"},{"name":"genetic_entity"},{"name":"genetic_profile"},{"name":"genetic_profile_link"},{"name":"genetic_profile_samples"},{"name":"genomic_event_derived"},{"name":"gistic"},{"name":"gistic_to_gene"},{"name":"info"},{"name":"mut_sig"},{"name":"mutation"},{"name":"mutation_count_by_keyword"},{"name":"mutation_derived"},{"name":"mutation_event"},{"name":"mutation_panel_gene_coverage"},{"name":"mutation_wes_coverage"},{"name":"patient"},{"name":"reference_genome"},{"name":"reference_genome_gene"},{"name":"resource_definition"},{"name":"resource_patient"},{"name":"resource_sample"},{"name":"resource_study"},{"name":"sample"},{"name":"sample_cna_event"},{"name":"sample_derived"},{"name":"sample_list"},{"name":"sample_list_list"},{"name":"sample_profile"},{"name":"sample_to_gene_panel_derived"},{"name":"structural_variant"},{"name":"sv_panel_gene_coverage"},{"name":"sv_wes_coverage"},{"name":"top_cna_genes_in_study"},{"name":"top_mutated_genes_in_cohort"},{"name":"top_mutated_genes_in_study"},{"name":"top_sv_genes_in_study"},{"name":"treatment_counts_in_study"},{"name":"treatment_regimens_in_study"},{"name":"type_of_cancer"}]} ◀ result {"success":true,"message":"Found 8 matching studies (top 5 with full metadata, rest with basic info).

So we have: - **523 KRAS-mutant samples** - **1,123 TP53-mutant samples** - **Only 1 sample** has both KRAS AND TP53 mutations - **Therefore, 522 samples are KRAS-mutant + TP53 wild-type** Now, regarding MYC expression: **Unfortunately, this study and all other NSCLC studies in cBioPortal do not have gene expression data**. Let me provide you with what we have found and guide you to explore the data: ## Answer **Yes, there is a substantial NSCLC cohort with KRAS mutations and wild-type TP53, but MYC expression data is not available in cBioPortal.** ### Cohort Summary In the **Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (MSK, Nature Medicine 2022)** study (`nsclc_ctdx_msk_2022`, 2,621 samples): | Genotype | Sample Count | Frequency | |----------|--------------|-----------| | KRAS-mutant | 523 | 20.0% | | TP53-mutant | 1,123 | 42.8% | | **KRAS-mutant + TP53 wild-type** | **522** | **19.9%** | | KRAS-mutant + TP53-mutant (co-mutant) | 1 | <0.1% | ### Key Finding - **522 NSCLC samples** have KRAS mutations with **wild-type TP53** — a clinically relevant subset with potential distinct biology - KRAS and TP53 mutations are largely mutually exclusive in NSCLC (only 1 sample of 523 KRAS-mutant carries TP53 mutations) ### Expression Data Limitation **None of the NSCLC studies in cBioPortal have mRNA expression data** (0/9 studies): - nsclc_ctdx_msk_2022 (2,621 samples) — no expression - nsclc_tcga_broad_2016 (1,144 samples) — no expression - All other NSCLC studies — no expression This appears to be a **data type limitation of this deployment** — RNA-Seq or microarray results may exist in the source studies but are not indexed in cBioPortal. ### Next Steps 1. **To filter the KRAS-mutant + TP53 wild-type cohort in cBioPortal:** I can generate a direct URL to StudyView with gene filters applied 2. **For MYC expression analysis:** You may need to access the original study data or use external resources (e.g., GEO, TCGA, or contact the MSK research group directly) Would you like me to generate a cBioPortal URL to explore the KRAS-mutant + TP53 wild-type cohort? I can link directly to the filtered patient group for further analysis.
