Including copy number data into oncoplots.
There are two ways one include CN status into MAF. 1. GISTIC results 2. Custom copy number table
GISTIC results
Most widely used tool for copy number analysis from large scale
studies is GISTIC and we can simultaneously read gistic results along
with MAF. GISTIC generates numerous files but we need mainly four files
all_lesions.conf_XX.txt,
amp_genes.conf_XX.txt, del_genes.conf_XX.txt,
scores.gistic where XX is confidence level. These files
contain significantly altered genomic regions along with amplified and
deleted genes respectively.
#GISTIC results LAML
all.lesions =
system.file("extdata", "all_lesions.conf_99.txt", package = "maftools")
amp.genes =
system.file("extdata", "amp_genes.conf_99.txt", package = "maftools")
del.genes =
system.file("extdata", "del_genes.conf_99.txt", package = "maftools")
scores.gis =
system.file("extdata", "scores.gistic", package = "maftools")
#Read GISTIC results along with MAF
laml.plus.gistic = read.maf(
maf = laml.maf,
gisticAllLesionsFile = all.lesions,
gisticAmpGenesFile = amp.genes,
gisticDelGenesFile = del.genes,
gisticScoresFile = scores.gis,
isTCGA = TRUE,
verbose = FALSE,
clinicalData = laml.clin
)
This plot shows frequent deletions in TP53 gene which is located on one of the significantly deleted locus 17p13.2.
Custom copy-number table
In case there is no GISTIC results available, one can generate a table containing CN status for known genes in known samples. This can be easily created and read along with MAF file.
For example lets create a dummy CN alterations for
DNMT3A in random 20 samples.
set.seed(seed = 1024)
barcodes = as.character(getSampleSummary(x = laml)[,Tumor_Sample_Barcode])
#Random 20 samples
dummy.samples = sample(x = barcodes,
size = 20,
replace = FALSE)
#Genarate random CN status for above samples
cn.status = sample(
x = c('ShallowAmp', 'DeepDel', 'Del', 'Amp'),
size = length(dummy.samples),
replace = TRUE
)
custom.cn.data = data.frame(
Gene = "DNMT3A",
Sample_name = dummy.samples,
CN = cn.status,
stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
head(custom.cn.data)
#> Gene Sample_name CN
#> 1 DNMT3A TCGA-AB-2898 ShallowAmp
#> 2 DNMT3A TCGA-AB-2879 Del
#> 3 DNMT3A TCGA-AB-2920 Amp
#> 4 DNMT3A TCGA-AB-2866 Del
#> 5 DNMT3A TCGA-AB-2892 Del
#> 6 DNMT3A TCGA-AB-2863 ShallowAmp
# Its recommended to also include additional columns Chromosome, Start_Position, End_Position
laml.plus.cn = read.maf(maf = laml.maf,
cnTable = custom.cn.data,
verbose = FALSE)
oncoplot(maf = laml.plus.cn, top = 5)
Bar plots
leftBarData, rightBarData and
topBarData arguments can be used to display additional
values as barplots. Below example demonstrates adding gene expression
values and mutsig q-values as left and right side bars
respectivelly.

aml_genes = c("TP53", "WT1", "PHF6", "DNMT3A", "DNMT3B", "TET1", "TET2", "IDH1", "IDH2", "FLT3", "KIT", "KRAS", "NRAS", "RUNX1", "CEBPA", "ASXL1", "EZH2", "KDM6A")

Including annotations
Annotations are stored in clinical.data slot of MAF.

the sample annotations.
More than one annotations can be included by passing them to the
argument clinicalFeatures. Above plot can be further
enhanced by sorting according to annotations. Custom colors can be
specified as a list of named vectors for each levels.
#Color coding for FAB classification
fabcolors = RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(n = 8,name = 'Spectral')
names(fabcolors) = c("M0", "M1", "M2", "M3", "M4", "M5", "M6", "M7")
#For continuous numrical annotations, use one of the below palettes
# c("Blues", "BuGn", "BuPu", "GnBu", "Greens", "Greys", "Oranges",
# "OrRd", "PuBu", "PuBuGn", "PuRd", "Purples", "RdPu", "Reds",

maf = laml, genes = aml_genes,
clinicalFeatures = c('FAB_classification', 'days_to_last_followup'),
sortByAnnotation = TRUE,
annotationColor = anno_cols
)
Highlighting samples
If you prefer to highlight mutations by a specific attribute, you can
use additionalFeature argument.
Example: Highlight all mutations where alt allele is C.
Note that first argument (Tumor_Seq_Allele2) must a be column in MAF
file, and second argument (C) is a value in that column. If you want to
know what columns are present in the MAF file, use
getFields.
getFields(x = laml)
#> [1] "Hugo_Symbol" "Entrez_Gene_Id" "Center"
#> [4] "NCBI_Build" "Chromosome" "Start_Position"
#> [7] "End_Position" "Strand" "Variant_Classification"
#> [10] "Variant_Type" "Reference_Allele" "Tumor_Seq_Allele1"
#> [13] "Tumor_Seq_Allele2" "Tumor_Sample_Barcode" "Protein_Change"
#> [16] "i_TumorVAF_WU" "i_transcript_name"Group by Pathways
Genes can be auto grouped based on their pathway belongings. Currently maftools has two pathway databases,
- oncogenic signalling pathways: A curated list of 10 signalling pathways
- Catalog of known driver genes classified by their biological processes
By setting pathways argument either sigpw
or smgbp - cohort can be summarized by altered pathways.
pathways argument also accepts a custom pathway list in the
form of a two column tsv file or a data.frame containing gene names and
their corresponding pathway.
Oncogenic siganlling pathways
setting pathways = 'sigpw' to draw 5 most affected
pathways
oncoplot(maf = laml, pathways = "sigpw", gene_mar = 8, fontSize = 0.6, topPathways = 5)

#> Warning in oncoplot(maf = laml, pathways = "sigpw", gene_mar = 8, fontSize = 0.6, : Found following pathways with the same name as gene symbols. Renamed them with the suffix _pw
#> TP53
#> Warning in oncoplot(maf = laml, pathways = "sigpw", gene_mar = 8, fontSize =
#> 0.6, : Duplicated genes found across multiple pathways! This might cause issue
#> while plotting.
