glm-clinical-data-file Text

Clinical traits, mutational profiles, other mixed clinical data (See \s-1DESCRIPTION\s0).

phenotypes-to-include Text

Include only these genes and/or phenotypes in the anlaysis. (COMMA-DELIMITED)

legend-placement Text

Choose one of 'bottomleft', 'topleft', 'topright', or 'bottomright'. Default value 'bottomleft' if not specified

skip-non-coding Boolean

Skip non-coding mutations from the provided \s-1MAF\s0 file Default value 'true' if not specified

This command performs survival analysis and plots survival curves for mutational data, as well as any clinical traits of interest as specified via the --phenotypes-to-include input parameter. The analyses performed include the Kaplan-Meier estimator followed by the Cox Proportional Hazards model. Outputs for each gene/clinical trait analyzed include survival curves, a hazard ratio (with confidence intervals), and P-values and FDRs describing the significance of the difference between survivors and non-survivors.

All clinical data files are searched for the required (case insensitive) \*(L"vital_status\*(R" and \*(L"days_to_last_followup\*(R" columns which are paired to phenotypes via sample IDs for the survival analysis. The first column of all clinical data files \s-1MUST\s0 contain the sample IDs, same as in other MuSiC tools. By default, analysis is performed on every gene present in the \s-1MAF\s0. Optionally, the analysis may be limited to only specific genes by listing them (comma delimited) after the --phenotypes-to-include input parameter. Survival analysis may also be performed on other columns in the clinical data file by adding the column headers to the list of entries specified after the --phenotypes-to-include input parameter.

Here are some general guildelines for creating clinical data input files:

• Headers are required.

• The first column of each clinical data file must contain sample IDs which match those in both the --bam-list and the \s-1MAF\s0 variant list (in the \s-1MAF\s0, this is the Tumor_Sample_Barcode column, specifically).

• In at least one of the clinical data files input, columns with headers \*(L"vital_status\*(R" and \*(L"days_to_last_followup\*(R" (case insensitive) must exist. \*(L"vital_status\*(R" must be delineated by 1's and 0's, where 0 denotes 'living', and 1 denotes 'deceased'.

Note that all input files must be tab-separated.

--bam-list

Provide a file containing sample names and normal/tumor \s-1BAM\s0 locations for each. Use the tab- delimited format [sample_name normal_bam tumor_bam] per line. This tool only needs sample_name, so all other columns can be skipped. The sample_name must be the same as the tumor sample names used in the \s-1MAF\s0 file (16th column, with the header Tumor_Sample_Barcode).
