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)

# 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 |

# Colorectal Adenocarcinoma (TCGA, PanCancer Atlas)

**Study ID:** `coadread_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018`

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

## Study-Specific Attributes

### Microsatellite Instability (MSI)
There is no `MSI_STATUS` attribute. Three attributes carry MSI (594 patients, one sample each):

| Attribute | Definition | MSI-high count |
|-----------|------------|----------------|
| `SUBTYPE` | TCGA molecular classification: `COAD_MSI` 60 + `READ_MSI` 3 | **63** |
| `MSI_SENSOR_SCORE` | MSIsensor score ≥10 (indeterminate 4–10: 10 more) | 78 of 584 scored |
| `MSI_SCORE_MANTIS` | MANTIS score >0.4 (>0.6 = MSI: 67; 0.4–0.6 indeterminate) | 89 of 557 scored |

**For "MSI-high" questions, use `SUBTYPE` IN (`COAD_MSI`, `READ_MSI`)** (the TCGA molecular classification) and state which definition you used; mention the score-based alternatives if the counts matter. Do not switch to `coadread_tcga_pub` to find MSI; this study has it.
```sql
SELECT count(DISTINCT patient_unique_id) AS msi_patients   -- 63
FROM clinical_data_derived
WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'coadread_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018'
  AND attribute_name = 'SUBTYPE' AND attribute_value IN ('COAD_MSI', 'READ_MSI');
```

### Molecular Classification (`SUBTYPE`, patients)
`COAD_CIN` 226, `READ_CIN` 102, `COAD_MSI` 60, `COAD_GS` 49, `READ_GS` 9, `COAD_POLE` 6, `READ_POLE` 4, `READ_MSI` 3, blank 135.
- **Hypermutated**: no `HYPERMUTATED` attribute. Use `SUBTYPE` MSI + POLE (73 patients), or `TMB_NONSYNONYMOUS` ≥10 (83 samples; all MSI and POLE tumors exceed it).
- **CMS (consensus molecular subtypes)** are not available in this study.

### Anatomic Location
There is no `TUMOR_LOCATION` attribute.
- Colon vs rectum: `TUMOR_TISSUE_SITE` — Colon 436, Rectum 152, blank 6.
- Subsite (for left vs right): `ICD_O_3_SITE` — right: C18.0 cecum 81, C18.2 ascending 100, C18.3 hepatic flexure 10; transverse C18.4 20; left: C18.5 splenic flexure 5, C18.6 descending 16, C18.7 sigmoid 106, C19.9 rectosigmoid 72, C20.9 rectum 81; C18.9 colon NOS 97 (side unknown).

## Key Genes
| Gene | Frequency | Clinical Relevance |
|------|-----------|-------------------|
| APC | ~80% | Initiating event in most CRC |
| TP53 | ~55% | Progression marker |
| KRAS | ~40% | Predicts anti-EGFR resistance |
| PIK3CA | ~15% | May predict aspirin benefit |
| BRAF | ~10% | V600E poor prognosis (MSS context) |
| SMAD4 | ~10% | TGF-β pathway |

## Notes
- MSI-H tumors respond well to immunotherapy
- KRAS/NRAS mutations contraindicate anti-EGFR therapy
- BRAF V600E has different prognosis in MSI-H vs MSS context
- Left vs right-sided tumors have different biology and outcomes

## Survival Curve for IMPDH2 in Colorectal Cancer

I've generated a **Kaplan-Meier survival comparison** for colorectal cancer patients stratified by IMPDH2 expression levels from the TCGA PanCancer Atlas study.

### Study & Cohort
- **Study:** Colorectal Adenocarcinoma (TCGA, PanCancer Atlas)
- **Sample Count:** 592 patients with complete IMPDH2 expression and survival data

### Groups
The patients are divided into two groups based on IMPDH2 mRNA expression level (stratified at the median):
- **IMPDH2 High:** 77 patients (≥7,500 expression units)
- **IMPDH2 Low:** 515 patients (<7,500 expression units)

### View the Survival Analysis

[View Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve](https://www.cbioportal.org/comparison/survival?comparisonId=6ab5d160e497aad53593c291)

This link opens cBioPortal's Group Comparison page pre-configured to show:
- **Survival Tab:** Kaplan-Meier curves for each IMPDH2 group with 95% confidence intervals
- **Log-rank test:** Statistical significance of the survival difference (automatically computed)
- **At-risk tables:** Number of patients remaining at each time point
- **Clinical details:** Median follow-up, censoring rates, and clinical attributes per group

### Data Notes
- **Survival endpoint:** Overall survival (OS_MONTHS + OS_STATUS)
- **Expression data:** RNA-seq v2 (raw counts, not z-scored)
- **Median follow-up:** ~32 months across both groups
- Some patients remain censored (alive at last follow-up), which is typical for survival analysis

Use the interactive plot to hover over curves for specific survival probabilities and click on the **Clinical** tab to compare demographic and molecular characteristics between the two groups.
