# 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')` |

# Gene Resolution Guide

Use this guide before querying gene expression, mutation, copy-number, methylation, or structural-variant data when the user's gene term may be ambiguous.

## Routing Triggers

Read this guide when the user mentions:

- a gene family shorthand: `CD3`, `HLA`, `KRT`, `MUC`, `MT-`, `IGH`, `IGK`, `IGL`
- a marker name that may refer to multiple genes or proteins
- a gene alias, old symbol, or informal name
- a wildcard-like term such as "all CD3 genes"

These examples are not exhaustive. Apply this guide to any gene term that may resolve to multiple symbols, aliases, paralogs, family members, or marker genes.

## Core Rule

Do not silently aggregate multiple genes when the user names an ambiguous symbol. Either ask for clarification or choose a clearly standard marker and state the choice.

For example, "CD3 expression" can refer to `CD3D`, `CD3E`, or `CD3G`; in many immune-marker contexts `CD3E` is the standard marker, but the agent must not average all CD3 genes unless the user asks for a combined signature.

## Gene Discovery Query

After validating the gene table exists, search exact symbols first, then prefix/alias-like matches:

```sql
SELECT
    hugo_gene_symbol,
    entrez_gene_id
FROM gene
WHERE upper(hugo_gene_symbol) = upper('CD3')
   OR upper(hugo_gene_symbol) LIKE upper('CD3%')
ORDER BY hugo_gene_symbol
LIMIT 50;
```

If aliases are available in this deployment, inspect the relevant alias table before assuming no match. If no alias table exists, state that alias resolution is limited to available gene symbols.

## Answer Pattern

If multiple plausible genes are found:

> "CD3" is ambiguous in cBioPortal gene-symbol terms. I found `CD3D`, `CD3E`, and `CD3G`. Did you mean `CD3E` as a T-cell marker, or should I analyze all three separately?

If the user clearly asks for a combined family/signature:

- report each gene separately by default
- only compute an average/signature if the user explicitly requests it
- state exactly how the combined value was calculated

## Do Not

- Do not average multiple genes into one expression value without explicit permission.
- Do not rewrite an ambiguous symbol to a single gene without telling the user.
- Do not treat a prefix match as a validated gene symbol.

## Summary: P135L vs P135S in CDKN2A (p14^ARF)

**No P135L mutations found in cBioPortal.** However, I did find **8 samples with P135S** (proline-to-serine at position 135):

### P135S Mutations (Missense) — 8 samples:

| Study | Sample | Patient | Status | Cancer Type |
|-------|--------|---------|--------|-------------|
| CCLE (Broad, 2019) | MEWO_SKIN | MEWO_SKIN | NA | Melanoma cell line |
| HNSC (TCGA) | TCGA-H7-8501-01 | TCGA-H7-8501 | Somatic | Head & Neck Cancer |
| Melanoma (MSK-IMPACT 2020) | P-0001251-T01-IM3 | P-0001251 | Somatic | Melanoma |
| MSK-IMPACT 2017 | P-0001251-T01-IM3 | P-0001251 | NA | Melanoma |
| MSK MetTropism 2021 | P-0001251-T01-IM3 | P-0001251 | Somatic | Melanoma |
| MSK MetTropism 2021 | P-0015894-T01-IM6 | P-0015894 | Somatic | Metastatic cancer |
| Melanoma (Broad, 2012) | MEL-JWCI-WGS-1 | MEL-JWCI-WGS-1 | NA | Melanoma |
| SKCM (TCGA) | TCGA-D3-A2JF-06 | TCGA-D3-A2JF | Somatic | Melanoma |

**Key observations:**
- P135S is primarily found in **melanoma** samples (6/8), plus head & neck cancer and metastatic disease
- Most P135S calls are somatic mutations
- The position 135 mutations in CDKN2A (whether P135 or other residues) are relatively rare in the database

**Note:** CDKN2A mutations in cBioPortal are annotated using the **p16 isoform** nomenclature (position 1 starts at the p16 translation start site), not the p14^ARF nomenclature (which uses an upstream alternative start codon). This is why the positions appear in the 1–160 range rather than reflecting p14^ARF's larger coding sequence.
