# 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 … (36467 more chars)

# Sample and Study Filtering Guide

## Overview
Proper filtering is essential for meaningful cBioPortal analysis. This guide covers filtering by studies, sample types, and other criteria.

## Study-Level Filtering

### 1. Always Filter by Study
Every query should specify a study to ensure consistent results:

```sql
-- Always include study filtering
SELECT *
FROM your_table
WHERE
    cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id'
    -- Additional filters...
```

### 2. Find Available Studies

```sql
-- Discover available studies
SELECT
    cancer_study_identifier,
    name,
    description,
    type_of_cancer_id
FROM cancer_study
ORDER BY cancer_study_identifier;
```

### 3. Study Information

```sql
-- Get detailed study information
SELECT
    cs.cancer_study_identifier,
    cs.name as study_name,
    cs.description,
    cs.sample_count,
    COUNT(DISTINCT p.internal_id) as patient_count
FROM cancer_study cs
LEFT JOIN patient p ON cs.cancer_study_id = p.cancer_study_id
WHERE
    cs.cancer_study_identifier = 'your_study_id'
GROUP BY cs.cancer_study_identifier, cs.name, cs.description, cs.sample_count;
```

### 4. Find Studies by Available Data Types

Use this when the user asks *"which studies have mutation and copy-number data for X"*, *"studies with expression for Y"*, *"is there any imaging data"*, or any *"studies with Z data"* question. `cancer_study` has one precomputed sample count per data type — filter on them. No join and no schema exploration needed. These are the same counts as the portal's study list and its "Data type" filter.

**Canonical query — studies with ALL requested data types for a cancer type:**

```sql
SELECT
    cancer_study_identifier,
    name,
    sample_count,
    mutation_sample_count,
    cna_sample_count
FROM cancer_study
WHERE type_of_cancer_id = 'luad'          -- ← OncoTree code from search_oncotree
  AND mutation_sample_count > 0           -- ← one condition per required data type
  AND cna_sample_count > 0
ORDER BY sample_count DESC;
```

**Data type → column** (a count of 0 means the study doesn't have that data):

| Data type in the user's question | Column (portal "Data type" filter label) |
|---|---|
| samples in the study | `sample_count` |
| mutation / mutations | `mutation_sample_count` ("Mutations") |
| copy-number / CNA / amplification / deletion | `cna_sample_count` ("CNA") |
| structural variant / fusion | `structural_variant_sample_count` |
| RNA / mRNA / gene expression (any platform) | `mrna_expression_sample_count` — use this for "which studies have expression data" |
| specifically the portal's "RNA-Seq" filter | `rna_seq_sample_count` ("RNA-Seq") — counts only the `<study>_rna_seq_v2_mrna` list; 0 for many GDC and iAtlas studies that do have RNA-Seq |
| specifically the portal's "RNA (microarray)" filter | `mrna_microarray_sample_count` ("RNA (microarray)") — counts only the `<study>_mrna` list |
| microRNA | `mirna_sample_count` ("miRNA") |
| protein / RPPA | `rppa_sample_count` ("RPPA") |
| mas … (7866 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)

## HER2-Negative Breast Cancer — Most Common Genomic Events

**Cohort:** [Breast Cancer (METABRIC, Nature 2012 & Nat Commun 2016)](https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=brca_metabric), filtered to **HER2-negative** by IHC/FISH status (`HER2_STATUS = Negative`): **1,733 of 2,509 samples** (patient-level = sample-level here, 1 sample/patient). This cohort was chosen because it has an explicit, direct HER2 clinical status field — I did not infer HER2 status from molecular subtype.

### Most frequently mutated genes (% of 1,733 HER2-negative samples profiled for mutations)

| Gene | Altered samples | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| **PIK3CA** | 717 | 41.4% |
| **TP53** | 498 | 28.7% |
| MUC16 | 271 | 15.6% |
| AHNAK2 | 262 | 15.1% |
| GATA3 | 219 | 12.6% |
| KMT2C | 210 | 12.1% |
| SYNE1 | 200 | 11.5% |
| MAP3K1 | 191 | 11.0% |
| CDH1 | 160 | 9.2% |

PIK3CA and TP53 dominate, consistent with the fact that this HER2-negative group is enriched for luminal (ER+) and basal-like tumors — MUC16, AHNAK2, and SYNE1 are large genes frequently hit by passenger mutations and should be interpreted cautiously.

### Most frequent copy-number amplifications/deep deletions (same 1,733-sample denominator)

| Gene | Event | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| MDM4 | AMP | 24.5% |
| MYC | AMP | 23.7% |
| MCL1 | AMP | 19.2% |
| CCND1 | AMP | 16.6% |
| ZNF703 | AMP | 14.6% |
| FGFR1 | AMP | 13.4% |
| ERBB2 (HER2) | AMP | 3.6% |
| PTEN | HOMDEL | 2.3% |

MYC (8q24), CCND1 (11q13) and FGFR1 (8p11) amplifications are the classic recurrent CNAs in HER2-negative disease. Note that **3.6% still show ERBB2 copy-number amplification** despite negative clinical HER2 status — a known IHC/FISH-vs-copy-number discordance, not a query error.

Neither mutation nor CNA frequency here reflects annotated "driver" status — METABRIC does not carry OncoKB/driver-filter annotations in this database; use the OQL `MUT_DRIVER` modifier in the portal if you want oncogenicity-filtered counts.
