Thanks Jason,
It's misleading how Biomart reports some of the mutation frequencies as some of the genes were only tested in the 24 samples and not the full 114 so the frequency reported (x/114) is much less than the actual x/24 for that data set.

The total number of samples used for genetic analysis in this study was 24 not 114. Can you please look into correcting the summary stats so that the correct frequency is reported for mutations? In looking at the sample names for this study in BioMart, it looks like additional studies were added to the BioMart dataset. Maybe that's where the n-114 came from. However, that messes up the frequencies as not all the genes were tested in all 114 samples.

Can you please send me the reference to the source data behind what's reported for "Pancreatic Cancer (JHU/US)"? Thanks, Heather
