# 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)

Perfect! Now let me compile the results into a comprehensive response.

## Most Frequently Altered Genes in KRAS Wild-Type Lung Adenocarcinoma

Based on the TCGA Pan-Cancer Atlas Lung Adenocarcinoma study, I analyzed **398 KRAS wild-type samples** (out of 566 total; 168 were KRAS-mutant).

### Top 20 Mutated Genes in KRAS Wild-Type Samples

| Gene | Altered Samples | Frequency | Total Events |
|------|-----------------|-----------|--------------|
| **TP53** | 233 | **58.5%** | 247 |
| **TTN** | 190 | 47.7% | 501 |
| **MUC16** | 158 | 39.7% | 284 |
| **CSMD3** | 157 | 39.4% | 276 |
| **RYR2** | 147 | 36.9% | 289 |
| **LRP1B** | 132 | 33.2% | 227 |
| **ZFHX4** | 122 | 30.7% | 185 |
| **USH2A** | 120 | 30.2% | 202 |
| **XIRP2** | 107 | 26.9% | 143 |
| **FLG** | 105 | 26.4% | 161 |
| **SPTA1** | 104 | 26.1% | 143 |
| **COL11A1** | 89 | 22.4% | 115 |
| **NAV3** | 88 | 22.1% | 116 |
| **PCDH15** | 88 | 22.1% | 132 |
| **FAT3** | 85 | 21.4% | 123 |
| **MUC17** | 83 | 20.9% | 118 |
| **ZNF536** | 79 | 19.8% | 111 |
| **CSMD1** | 77 | 19.3% | 106 |
| **PCLO** | 77 | 19.3% | 102 |
| **TNR** | 76 | 19.1% | 95 |

### Key Clinical Findings

**TP53** is the dominant gene, mutated in **58.5%** of KRAS wild-type lung adenocarcinomas—nearly as frequent as in the overall LUAD population. This suggests TP53 alterations are a hallmark of this genotype, regardless of KRAS status.

The remainder of the list is dominated by **large passenger genes** (TTN, MUC16, RYR2, LRP1B) that accumulate mutations across all lung adenocarcinomas; their high prevalence reflects the general mutational burden of lung cancer rather than specific driver roles in KRAS WT disease.

Clinically actionable genes are **sparse** in this top-20 list. **EGFR** mutations appear at position 26 with 69 altered samples (17.3%), which is significantly *enriched* in KRAS WT samples compared to KRAS mutants (where EGFR-mutant co-occurrence is rare—oncogenic driver exclusivity). This is the key biological distinction.
