cgdsr-getMutationData: Get mutation data for cancer study

In cBioPortal/cgdsr: R-Based API for Accessing the MSKCC Cancer Genomics Data Server (CGDS)

Description

Queries the CGDS API and returns mutation data for a given case set and list of genes.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'CGDS'
getMutationData(x, caseList, geneticProfile, genes, ...)

Arguments

x	A CGDS object (required)
caseList	A case list ID
geneticProfile	A genetic profile ID with mutation data
genes	A vector of query genes
...	Not used.

Value

A data.frame with rows for each sample/case, rownames corresponding to case IDs, and columns corresponding to:

1. entrez_gene_id: Entrez gene ID

2. gene_symbol: HUGO gene symbol

3. sequencing_center: Sequencer Center responsible for identifying this mutation.

4. mutation_status: somatic or germline mutation status. all mutations returned will be of type somatic.

5. age_at_diagnosis: Age at diagnosis.

6. mutation_type: mutation type, such as nonsense, missense, or frameshift_ins.

7. validation_status: validation status. Usually valid, invalid, or unknown.

8. amino_acid_change: amino acid change resulting from the mutation.

9. functional_impact_score: predicted functional impact score, as predicted by Mutation Assessor.

10. xvar_link: Link to the Mutation Assessor web site.

11. xvar_link_pdb: Link to the Protein Data Bank (PDB) View within Mutation Assessor web site.

12. xvar_link_msa: Link the Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) view within the Mutation Assessor web site.

13. chr: chromosome where mutation occurs.

14. start_position: start position of mutation.

15. end_position: end position of mutation
