Q (haiku): In the TCGA PanCancer Atlas endometrial cancer study, what percentage of patients have co-occurring oncogenic mutations in both KRAS and NRAS? ▶ read_guide { "uri": "cbioportal://mutation-frequency-guide" } ▶ list_studies { "search": "TCGA endometrial" } ◀ result # 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) ◀ result {"result":[{"cancer_study_identifier":"ucec_tcga_gdc","name":"Endometrial Carcinoma (TCGA GDC, 2025)","type_of_cancer_id":"ucec","sample_count":547,"has_guide":false,"url":"https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=ucec_tcga_gdc"},{"cancer_study_identifier":"ucec_tcga","name":"Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (TCGA, Firehose Legacy)","type_of_cancer_id":"ucec","sample_count":549,"has_guide":false,"url":"https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=ucec_tcga"},{"cancer_study_identifier":"ucec_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018","name":"Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (TCGA, PanCancer Atlas)","type_of_cancer_id":"ucec","sample_count":529,"has_guide":true,"url":"https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=ucec_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018"},{"cancer_study_identifier":"ucec_tcga_pub","name":"Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (TCGA, Nature 2013)","type_of_cancer_id":"ucec","sample_count":373,"has_guide":false,"url":"https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=ucec_tcga_pub"}]} ▶ get_study_guide { "study_id": "ucec_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018" } ◀ result # 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;

This is consistent with their overlapping role in activating RAS/MAPK signaling — tumors typically acquire a single activating mutation in one of the RAS family members rather than both. The few instances observed may represent distinct subclonal populations or be artifacts of sequencing depth.
