# 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)

# Common Query Pitfalls Guide
## Overview
This guide highlights frequent mistakes when analyzing cBioPortal data and provides solutions to avoid them.
## Critical Pitfalls
### 1. 🚨 CRITICAL MUTATION FREQUENCY ERRORS
#### ❌ WRONG: Using study-wide totals for gene frequencies
```sql
-- INCORRECT - This gives wrong frequencies!
SELECT
hugo_gene_symbol,
COUNT(DISTINCT sample_unique_id) as altered_samples,
(SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT sample_unique_id)
FROM genomic_event_derived
WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id') as total_samples
FROM genomic_event_derived
WHERE variant_type = 'mutation' AND cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id'
GROUP BY hugo_gene_symbol;
```
**Problem**: Different genes have different profiling coverage - you can't use study-wide totals!
#### ❌ WRONG: Not using gene-specific profiling denominators
```sql
-- INCORRECT - Missing gene-specific denominators
SELECT
hugo_gene_symbol,
COUNT(DISTINCT sample_unique_id) as altered_samples
FROM genomic_event_derived
WHERE variant_type = 'mutation'
GROUP BY hugo_gene_symbol;
-- Missing: WHERE ARE THE DENOMINATORS FOR EACH GENE?
```
#### ❌ WRONG: Skipping individual gene profiling queries
**Problem**: Failing to run separate profiling queries for EACH gene in results.
**Each gene has different coverage**: TP53 might be profiled in 25,040 samples, MUC16 in 23,000, etc.
#### ✅ CORRECT: Complete gene-specific workflow
```sql
-- STEP 1: Get altered counts per gene
SELECT
hugo_gene_symbol,
entrez_gene_id,
COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN off_panel = 0 THEN sample_unique_id END) AS numberOfAlteredSamplesOnPanel,
COUNT(*) AS totalMutationEvents
FROM genomic_event_derived
WHERE variant_type = 'mutation' AND mutation_status != 'UNCALLED'
GROUP BY entrez_gene_id, hugo_gene_symbol
ORDER BY numberOfAlteredSamplesOnPanel DESC;
-- STEP 2: FOR EACH GENE, run this profiling query:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT stgp.sample_unique_id) AS numberOfProfiledSamples
FROM sample_to_gene_panel_derived stgp
JOIN gene_panel gp ON stgp.gene_panel_id = gp.stable_id
JOIN gene_panel_list gpl ON gp.internal_id = gpl.internal_id
JOIN gene g ON gpl.gene_id = g.entrez_gene_id
WHERE stgp.alteration_type = 'MUTATION_EXTENDED'
AND g.hugo_gene_symbol = 'TP53' -- Replace with each gene from Step 1
AND stgp.cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id';
-- STEP 3: Calculate frequency = numberOfAlteredSamplesOnPanel / numberOfProfiledSamples * 100
```
#### 🚨 WORKFLOW REQUIREMENTS VIOLATIONS:
- **Missing denominator columns**: Must show gene-specific profiled samples per row
- **Wrong table format**: Should be | Gene | # Mutations | # Samples | Profiled Samples | Sample % |
- **Not replacing gene symbols**: Must replace 'TP53' with actual gene for each query
- **Using study totals**: Never use genomic_event_derived for total sample counts
### 2. 🚨 OFF-PANEL MUTATION INCLUSION
#### ❌ Wrong: Including off-panel mutations
```sql
-- INCORRECT - Includes mutations outside gene panels

Perfect! Now let me create a clear summary of the findings.
## Summary: IDH1 Mutations Other Than R132 in Cholangiocarcinoma
I found **2 IDH1 mutations other than R132** across major cholangiocarcinoma studies:
### Non-R132 IDH1 Variants

| **N349S** | Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (MSK 2021) | P-0011223-T01-IM5 | Missense | Somatic |
### Complete IDH1 Mutation Profile (All Variants)
**IDH1 is significantly mutated in cholangiocarcinoma**, with R132 variants dominating:

### Key Observations
1. **R132 dominance**: R132C is the most common IDH1 variant across all studies, representing the classic IDH1 hotspot
2. **Rare non-R132 variants**: Only 2 non-R132 mutations identified (A268S and N349S) out of 163 total IDH1+ samples (~1.2%)
3. **Functional significance**: Both rare variants are missense mutations at different protein positions:
- **A268S** — alanine to serine substitution in the middle domain
- **N349S** — asparagine to serine substitution near the C-terminus
