# 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)

# Gene Expression Analysis Guide

This guide covers continuous-value genomic data: gene **expression**, **copy number** values, **methylation**, and related profile types. Mutation/CNA/SV *frequency* analysis lives in `cbioportal://mutation-frequency-guide`.

## Where this data lives

Continuous per-sample-per-gene values are stored in `genetic_alteration_derived`:

| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| `sample_unique_id` | `<study>_<sample_stable_id>` |
| `cancer_study_identifier` | study scope |
| `hugo_gene_symbol` | gene |
| `profile_type` | which assay/normalization (see below) |
| `alteration_value` | the actual value — stored as Nullable(String); cast with `toFloat64OrNull` |

`alteration_value` is a string because the same column hosts many different value scales. The `''` and `'NA'` sentinels mean "missing"; always filter them out and use `toFloat64OrNull(alteration_value) IS NOT NULL` for downstream math.

## Discovering profile types for a study

Different studies expose different profile types depending on what assays were run and how the data was normalized. Always check what a specific study supports before picking one:

```sql
SELECT DISTINCT profile_type
FROM genetic_alteration_derived
WHERE cancer_study_identifier = 'brca_metabric'
ORDER BY profile_type;
```

Common values across the public portal:

| Family | Profile types |
|---|---|
| mRNA expression | `rna_seq_v2_mrna`, `rna_seq_v2_mrna_median_Zscores`, `rna_seq_v2_mrna_median_all_sample_Zscores` (TCGA PanCancer Atlas), `mrna`, `mrna_median_Zscores`, `mrna_seq_v2_rsem`, `mrna_seq_v2_rsem_Zscores`, `mrna_seq_cpm`, `mrna_seq_fpkm`, `mrna_U133`, `mrna_outliers` |
| Copy number (continuous) | `cna`, `linear_CNA`, `log2CNA`, `cna_consensus`, `cna_rae`, `gistic` |
| Methylation | `methylation_hm27`, `methylation_hm450`, `methylation_epic`, `methylation_promoters_rrbs` |
| miRNA | `mirna`, `mirna_median_Zscores` |
| Protein | `protein_quantification`, `protein_level`, `RPPA` |

**Z-score vs raw choice.** When the user asks "is X correlated with Y", either works for Spearman (rank-based) — Pearson would care. Default to the non-Z-score variant if both exist, and call out which one in the response.

## Canonical recipe — Spearman correlation between two genes

```sql
SELECT *
FROM gene_pair_coexpression(
    study        = 'brca_metabric',
    gene_a       = 'TP53',
    gene_b       = 'MYC',
    profile_type = 'mrna'
);
```

Returns one row: `(gene_a, gene_b, profile_type, spearman_correlation, num_samples)`.

- `spearman_correlation` in [−1, 1]; `NULL` when fewer than 3 valid paired samples.
- Mirrors cbioportal-backend's `ClickhouseCoExpressionMapper.getCoExpressions`, simplified to a pair lookup (the backend computes one ref gene vs ALL other genes for the coexpression page; here the agent asks about a specific pair).

### Verified examples

| Study | gene_a | gene_b | profile_type | spearman | n |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `brca_metabric` | TP53 | MYC | `mrna` | 0.118 | 1980 |

═ answer (success)
Only one tumor with a MAP2K1 codon 105 change also has mRNA expression data in cBioPortal. cBioPortal doesn't store anything about mRNA stability, so I can't say whether this alteration affects it.

**The expression values**

The tumor is TCGA-73-4658-01 in [Lung Adenocarcinoma (TCGA GDC, 2025)](https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=luad_tcga_gdc). It carries MAP2K1 P105_A106del, an in-frame deletion.

| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| RNA-seq, raw | 2939 |
| FPKM | 28.96 |
| FPKM z-score | 1.17 |
| TPM | 86.34 |
| TPM z-score | 1.10 |
| Read-count z-score | 0.18 |

The z-scores are relative to the other tumors in that study. This is one tumor, so I can't compare it against tumors without the change, and any comparison would mean little from a single sample.

**The other tumors with a codon 105 change**

- I found 34 tumor samples carrying a codon 105 change in MAP2K1 across the database. These are mostly MSK-IMPACT, MSK-MET, MSK-CHORD and histiocytosis cohorts.
- None of the other tumors has expression data, because those cohorts were profiled with targeted DNA sequencing only.
- The changes are:
  - P105_A106del, a 2-residue in-frame deletion.
  - P105_I107delinsL, where 3 residues are replaced by 1.
  - P105R, a missense change in 2 samples.

**About your premise**

- **Nucleotide changes:** cBioPortal reports these changes at the protein level, so I matched on amino-acid position 105. I can't filter on nucleotide-level changes.
- **Driver status:** I haven't confirmed a driver annotation for these variants. Frequently mutated does not mean oncogenic.
- **The mRNA-stability claim:** it isn't from cBioPortal data, and nothing here supports or refutes it. The database has expression levels, not mRNA half-life.
