Prioritize Cancer Driver Genes

Description

Prioritize Cancer Driver Genes

Usage

prioritize_driver_genes(features_df, cancer_type)

Arguments

features_df

the features data frame for all genes, containing the following columns:

gene_symbol

HGNC gene symbol

metaprediction_score

the maximum metapredictor (coding) impact score for the gene

noncoding_score

the maximum non-coding PHRED-scaled CADD score for the gene

scna_score

SCNA proxy score. SCNA density (SCNA/Mb) of the minimal common region (MCR) in which the gene is located

hotspot_double_hit

boolean indicating whether the gene is a hotspot gene (indication of oncogenes) or subject to double-hit (indication of tumor-suppressor genes)

phenolyzer_score

'phenolyzer' score for the gene

cancer_type

short name of the cancer type. All available cancer types are listed in MTL_submodel_descriptions

Value

data frame with 3 columns:

gene_symbol

HGNC gene symbol

driverness_prob

estimated probability for each gene in features_df of being a cancer driver. The probabilities are calculated using the selected (via cancer_type) cancer type's sub-model.

prediction

prediction based on the cancer-type-specific threshold (either "driver" or "non-driver")

create_features_df for creating the features table.
