TCGAmutations is an R data package containing somatic mutations from CCLE and TCGA cohorts. This is particularly useful for those working with mutation data from TCGA studies - where most of the time is spent on searching various databases, downloading, compiling and tidying up the data before even the actual analysis is started. This package tries to mitigate the issue by providing pre-compiled, curated somatic mutations from 33 TCGA cohorts and 2427 cell line profiles from CCLE - along with relevant clinical information for all sequenced samples.
BiocManager::install("PoisonAlien/TCGAmutations")There are only two commands
tcga_available()- Lists the available cohorts in the packagetcga_load()- Takes a cohort name and returns the corresponding MAF object
There are sources from which MAF files were compiled:
tcga_available() function lists the available cohorts along with the source and sample size.

Recommendations for survival analysis (as suggested by the publication)
Recommended use of the endpoints: For clinical outcome endpoints, we recommend the use of
PFIfor progression-free interval, andOSfor overall survival. Both endpoints are relatively accurate. Given the relatively short follow-up time,PFIis preferred overOS. Detailed recommendations please refer to Table 3 in the accompanying paper.
Below are the column names for the event and the timepoint.
| endpoint | event column name | timepoint column name |
|---|---|---|
| PFI (Progression-free interval) | CDR_PFI |
CDR_PFI.time |
| OS (Overall survival) | CDR_OS |
CDR_OS.time |
| DSS (Disease-specific survival) | CDR_DSS |
CDR_DSS.time |
| DFI (Disease-free interval) | CDR_DFI |
CDR_DFI.time |
example usage for survival:
#OS
maftools::mafSurvival(maf = brca, genes = c("TP53"), time = "CDR_OS.time", Status = "CDR_OS")
#PFI
maftools::mafSurvival(maf = brca, genes = c("TP53"), time = "CDR_PFI.time", Status = "CDR_PFI")Change source argument to Firehose for MAF files from Broad Firehose
WARNING: Use Firehose data at your own risk. MAF data has not been updated in a long time. It is strongly suggested to use the default MC3 cohort
