# 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)

# 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)

# Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (TCGA, PanCancer Atlas)

**Study ID:** `ucec_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018`

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

## Study-Specific Attributes

### Molecular Classification (TCGA)
| Attribute | Description | Values (patients) |
|-----------|-------------|--------|
| `SUBTYPE` | TCGA molecular subtype | `UCEC_CN_HIGH` 163, `UCEC_MSI` 148, `UCEC_CN_LOW` 147, `UCEC_POLE` 49, blank 22 |

### Histology
There is no `HISTOLOGICAL_TYPE` attribute; use `CANCER_TYPE_DETAILED`, plus `GRADE` for grade.

| Attribute | Values (samples) |
|-----------|--------|
| `CANCER_TYPE_DETAILED` | Uterine Endometrioid Carcinoma 399, Uterine Serous Carcinoma/Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma 109, Uterine Mixed Endometrial Carcinoma 21 |
| `GRADE` | G3 302, G2 119, G1 97, High Grade 11 |

`AJCC_PATHOLOGIC_TUMOR_STAGE` is blank for all samples.

## Molecular Subtypes
| Subtype | Characteristics | Prognosis |
|---------|-----------------|-----------|
| **POLE** | Ultra-hypermutated (>100 mut/Mb), POLE exonuclease mutations | Excellent |
| **MSI** | Hypermutated, microsatellite instability, MLH1 silencing | Intermediate |
| **CN-low** | Microsatellite stable, few copy number alterations | Intermediate |
| **CN-high** | Serous-like, TP53 mutations, extensive CNA | Poor |

## Key Genes
| Gene | Frequency | Subtype Association |
|------|-----------|---------------------|
| PTEN | ~65% | CN-low, MSI |
| PIK3CA | ~50% | All subtypes |
| PIK3R1 | ~30% | CN-low |
| ARID1A | ~35% | MSI |
| TP53 | ~25% | CN-high (>90% in this subtype) |
| KRAS | ~20% | Various |
| CTNNB1 | ~20% | CN-low |
| POLE | ~7% | Defines POLE subtype |

## Notes
- TCGA molecular classification has prognostic value and guides treatment
- POLE and MSI subtypes are hypermutated but have different mechanisms
- TP53 mutations with CN-high pattern indicate serous-like behavior regardless of histology
- POLE mutations should be in exonuclease domain (proofreading) to be driver
- MSI-H tumors respond well to immunotherapy

═ answer (success)
Perfect! Now I have all the data I need. Let me synthesize the findings into a comprehensive answer.

## Summary

**Overall Hypermutation Prevalence in Endometrial Cancer (TCGA PanCancer Atlas):**
- **7.38% of endometrial cancer samples (38/515) have >5,000 mutations** (hypermutated)
- Mutation burden ranges widely: 7 to 25,697 mutations per sample
- Median mutation count is 76, reflecting the dominance of lower-mutated samples

---

## Strong Correlation with Molecular Subtype

Hypermutation is **heavily enriched in POLE-mutant tumors** and shows distinct patterns across TCGA molecular subtypes:

| Molecular Subtype | Samples | Hypermutated | % Hypermutated | Median Mutations | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **UCEC_POLE** | 49 | 32 | **65.31%** | 7,385 | 201–25,697 |
| **UCEC_MSI** | 148 | 6 | 4.05% | 578 | 25–11,439 |
| **UCEC_CN_HIGH** | 163 | 0 | 0% | 54 | 19–353 |
| **UCEC_CN_LOW** | 147 | 0 | 0% | 50 | 10–1,508 |

**Key finding:** Nearly two-thirds of POLE-mutant tumors are hypermutated, while other molecular subtypes show 0–4% hypermutation rates.

---

## Correlation with Histological Subtype

Hypermutation distribution varies by histology, **primarily driven by underlying molecular subtype**:

| Histology | Samples | Hypermutated | % Hypermutated | Median Mutations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Endometrioid Carcinoma** | 388 | 34 | 8.76% | 142.5 |
| **Mixed Endometrial Carcinoma** | 21 | 2 | 9.52% | 61 |
| **Serous/Papillary Serous Carcinoma** | 106 | 2 | 1.89% | 54.5 |

**Within Endometrioid Carcinoma (the largest group):**
- POLE subtype: **64.44% hypermutated** (29/45 samples)
- MSI subtype: **3.55% hypermutated** (5/141 samples)
- CN-HIGH/CN-LOW subtypes: **0% hypermutated**

**Serous tumors show minimal hypermutation** (1.89% overall), except the small subset with POLE mutations (100% hypermutated, n=2).

---

## Interpretation

Hypermutation in endometrial cancer is **primarily a feature of the POLE-mutant molecular subtype** rather than histological type. The POLE exonuclease domain mutations cause polymerase proofreading defects, leading to ultra-high mutation rates (>100 mutations/Mb). While endometrioid histology is the most common type overall, the association with hypermutation reflects its stronger enrichment for POLE mutations. Serous tumors, which typically harbor TP53 mutations (CN-HIGH subtype), show low hypermutation rates and are usually associated with poor prognosis, in contrast to the favorable outlook in POLE-mutant tumors.
