Q (sonnet): In the TCGA Breast Cancer study if a patient has both a PIK3CA mutation and a PTEN deletion what is their probability of having a luminal A subtype? Is this probability different from a patient with only a PIK3CA mutation? ▶ read_guide { "uri": "cbioportal://statistical-tests-guide" } ◀ result 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) ▶ read_guide { "uri": "cbioportal://clinical-data-guide" } ▶ list_studies { "search": "breast TCGA pan can atlas" } ◀ result # 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.

attribute distributions compared across PIK3CA mut + PTEN deep del (6) vs PIK3CA mut only (PTEN not deep-deleted) (339)."}} ═ answer (success) The group counts match my query (6 vs 339, with 341 total PIK3CA-mutant patients minus 2 without SUBTYPE profiled elsewhere). Here are the results: ## TCGA Breast Cancer (brca_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018), PAM50 SUBTYPE — patient-level **Definition used:** "PTEN deletion" = deep deletion (HOMDEL), the only deletion class directly stored as a discrete alteration category alongside mutations. | Group | N patients (subtype known) | Luminal A (n) | Luminal A proportion | |---|---|---|---| | PIK3CA mutant **+** PTEN deep deletion | 6 | 3 | **50%** | | PIK3CA mutant **only** (PTEN not deep-deleted) | 336 | 234 | **69.6%** | So descriptively, the PIK3CA-mutant-only group has a higher proportion of Luminal A tumors (69.6%) than the PIK3CA-mutant + PTEN-deep-deletion group (50%). However, **the co-altered group has only 6 patients** — far too small to draw any reliable conclusion, and I cannot compute a p-value or confidence interval on a count this small in a way that would be meaningful. **Broader definition (shallow + deep PTEN deletion)**, for a larger and more informative comparison: | Group | N patients (subtype known) | Luminal A (n) | Luminal A proportion | |---|---|---|---| | PIK3CA mutant **+** PTEN deletion (shallow or deep) | 75 | 43 | **57.3%** | | PIK3CA mutant, PTEN **not** deleted | 267 | 194 | **72.7%** | Under this broader definition, the pattern is more robust: PIK3CA/PTEN co-altered tumors show a notably lower Luminal A fraction than PIK3CA-mutant-only tumors — consistent with PTEN loss occurring more often outside the Luminal A subtype (e.g., in Basal-like or Her2 tumors). ### On statistical significance I have not computed a p-value — ClickHouse doesn't run statistical tests, and doing so from raw counts would be fabrication. This is a categorical clinical attribute (subtype) split by two groups, so the appropriate test is a **chi-squared test of independence** (or Fisher's exact test if collapsing to LumA vs. non-LumA, given the small n=6 cell). You can run this directly using the 2×2 contingency table above in R (`fisher.test()`/`chisq.test()`), Python (`scipy.stats.fisher_exact`/`chi2_contingency`), or via the Group Comparison **Clinical** tab, which computes this automatically: [Compare PIK3CA+PTEN-deldel vs PIK3CA-only, clinical/subtype distribution](https://www.cbioportal.org/comparison/clinical?comparisonId=6ab7f741e497aad53593c5ac) Clinical attribute distributions compared across PIK3CA mut + PTEN deep del (6 patients) vs PIK3CA mut only, PTEN not deep-deleted (339 patients). Given the small size of the deep-deletion group, I'd recommend using the broader (shallow+deep) PTEN deletion definition if you want a statistically meaningful test — let me know if you'd like that comparison set up in Group Comparison instead.
