TCGA Glioblastoma Gene Signature Analysis

Summary

Provisional 2013 TCGA glioblastoma RNAseq expression data were subjected to survival signature risk score identification analysis [1, 2]. Expression data were normed and then averaged for individuals with multiple measurements. After verifying proportionality of hazards, a Cox proportional hazards model was fit to the 19 signature genes with overall survival status as the outcome. Risk scores for each participant was determined using the method by Lu et al [2]. Risk scores were than categorized as Low or High using 0 as the cutpoint . Differential survival between the Low and High gene signature risk groups were visualized using Kaplan-Meier curves and difference between the curves was assessed via the log-rank test. All gene signature analyses were performed in R.
