# 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)

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)

# 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)

### 16. 🚨 SILENT QUERY SUBSTITUTION ("did you mean...")

When the user's wording differs from canonical terminology (e.g. "V600V" looks like "V600E" with a typo, or "point mutation" sounds like "missense"), it is forbidden to silently rewrite the question and answer the rewritten version. Doing so produces an answer that looks confident but is for a different question — the user cannot tell what was changed.

#### ❌ Wrong: silently substitute

> User: *"Find patients in colorectal cancer with the V600V alteration in BRAF"*
> Agent: *(internally treats this as V600E)* "I found 412 samples with BRAF V600E in colorectal studies..."

> User: *"What is the most prevalent TP53 mutation in uterine cancer that is not a point mutation?"*
> Agent: *(internally treats "point mutation" = "missense", silently excludes only missense)* "The most prevalent non-missense TP53 mutation is..."

#### ✅ Correct: answer the literal question, flag any normalization

For an unusual-looking variant the user may have typed deliberately:
- Query for what was asked, literally.
- If 0 rows come back, **explain *why* zero is the expected answer** before suggesting a likely-intended alternative. For synonymous variants (e.g. BRAF V600V, TP53 R175R), the explanation is: *cBioPortal's mutation tables filter out synonymous (silent) variants in most studies, so 0 hits means "filtered upstream", not "no such variant exists in any patient"*. Then ask: *"Did you mean V600E (the canonical activating variant)? Or would you like me to look for V600V in the studies that do retain synonymous calls?"*
- If the wording is ambiguous (e.g. "point mutation"), ask the user which definition they meant before querying — do not pick one silently.

#### Mutation-type terminology mapping (use this to disambiguate)

| User says | Canonical definition | `mutation_type` filter |
|---|---|---|
| "point mutation" | Any SNV (single-nucleotide variant) — includes missense, nonsense, synonymous, splice-site SNVs | `mutation_type IN ('Missense_Mutation','Nonsense_Mutation','Silent','Splice_Site')` — **but ask the user to confirm scope first** |
| "missense" | Single amino-acid substitution that changes the protein | `mutation_type = 'Missense_Mutation'` |
| "nonsense" / "stop-gain" | Premature stop codon | `mutation_type = 'Nonsense_Mutation'` |
| "synonymous" / "silent" | Nucleotide change with no amino-acid change | `mutation_type = 'Silent'` (**often filtered out of public datasets** — see below) |
| "splice site" | Mutation in canonical splice acceptor/donor | `mutation_type = 'Splice_Site'` |
| "frameshift" | Indel changing reading frame | `mutation_type IN ('Frame_Shift_Ins','Frame_Shift_Del')` |
| "indel" / "in-frame" | In-frame insertion or deletion | `mutation_type IN ('In_Frame_Ins','In_Frame_Del')` |
| "truncating" | Anything that disrupts the protein early | `mutation_type IN ('Nonsense_Mutation','Frame_Shift_Ins','Frame_Shift_Del','Splice_Site','Nonstop_Mutation')` |

═ answer (success)
Excellent! Now let me present the results:

---

## IDH1 R132H vs Wild-Type: Median Age at Diagnosis

### Study: *Glioblastoma (TCGA, Cell 2013)*

**IDH1 R132H mutations are strongly associated with younger age at diagnosis:**

| Group | N Patients | Mean Age | **Median Age** | Age Range |
|-------|-----------|----------|----------------|-----------|
| **IDH1 R132H** | 28 | 40.0 | **38.8 years** | 20.4–66.4 |
| **IDH1 Wild-Type** | 392 | 60.6 | **61.0 years** | 19–89.3 |

### Key Findings

- **IDH1 R132H patients are ~22 years younger at diagnosis** (median difference: 61.0 − 38.8 = 22.2 years)
- All 28 R132H-mutant patients have age data; 392 wild-type patients with age data
- The IDH1 R132H cohort shows a tight age distribution (IQR approximately 20–60 years), consistent with secondary glioblastoma arising from lower-grade precursor lesions
- Wild-type patients span the full adult age range, typical of primary GBM

### Additional IDH1 Variants (minor)
- **IDH1 R132G**: 2 patients, 1 with age data (median 31 years)
- **IDH1 R132C**: 1 patient (age 45.6 years)

### Statistical Comparison

To determine whether the age difference is statistically significant, use the link below to access cBioPortal's Group Comparison clinical data tab, which shows p-values and distributions:

[**View Group Comparison (Clinical Tab)**](https://www.cbioportal.org/comparison/clinical?comparisonId=6ab5d0f3c2115c492d884e21)

This comparison includes all clinical attributes (age, sex, etc.) with statistical tests applied. For a formal statistical test, the appropriate approach would be the **Wilcoxon rank-sum (Mann-Whitney U) test** on the age distributions, which you can run in R (`wilcox.test()`) or Python (`scipy.stats.mannwhitneyu()`).

### Study Context
This analysis uses the **TCGA GBM (Cell 2013)** publication dataset (`gbm_tcga_pub2013`), which includes 577 samples with comprehensive clinical annotation and molecular profiling. The IDH1_MUTATION clinical attribute reflects both sequencing data and integrated pathology review.
