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.

 

Thanks,
Heather

Heather,

 

 

Yes, the 114 samples are from their "discovery" studies (24 samples) and 
"prevalence" studies (the rest of them).

Thanks Elena,

 

That's the reference I was thinking the data was probably from. 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.

 

Many thanks,

Heather

Heather, 

These data were derived from the following publication:

 

Core Signaling Pathways in Human Pancreatic Cancers Revealed by Global Genomic 
Analyses

 

Siân Jones1,* et al. 

 

Science. 2008 September 26; 321(5897): 1801-1806. doi:10.1126/science.1164368.

Hi,

In looking at the mutation frequencies reported for the Pancreatic Cancer 
(JHU/US) dataset, it reports the frequencies out of n=114. Can you please send 
me the reference to the source data behind what's reported for "Pancreatic 
Cancer (JHU/US)"?

Thanks,

Heather
