Progenetix is an open data resource that provides curated individual cancer copy number variation (CNV) profiles along with associated metadata sourced from published oncogenomic studies and various data repositories. Progenetix uses the “.pgxseg” data format to store variant data, which encompasses CNV (Copy Number Variation) and SNV (Single Nucleotide Variant), as well as the metadata of associated samples. This vignette describes how to work with local “.pgxseg” files using this package. For more details about the “.pgxseg” file format, please refer to the the documentation.
pgxSegprocess
functionThis function extracts segment variants, CNV frequency, and metadata from local “pgxseg” files. Additionally, it supports survival data visualization if survival data is available within the file.
The parameters of this function used in this tutorial:
file
: A string specifying the path and name of the
“pgxseg” file where the data is to be read.group_id
: A string specifying which id is used for
grouping in KM plot or CNV frequency calculation. Default is
“group_id”.show_KM_plot
: A logical value determining whether to
return the Kaplan-Meier plot based on metadata. Default is FALSE.return_metadata
: A logical value determining whether to
return metadata. Default is FALSE.return_seg
: A logical value determining whether to
return segment data. Default is FALSE.return_frequency
: A logical value determining whether
to return CNV frequency data. The frequency calculation is based on
segments in segment data and specified group id in metadata. Default is
FALSE.cnv_column_idx
: Index of the column specifying the CNV
state used for calculating CNV frequency. The index must be at least 6,
with the default set to 6. The CNV states should either contain “DUP”
for duplications and “DEL” for deletions, or level-specific CNV states
represented using Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO) codes.assembly
: A string specifying the genome assembly
version to apply to CNV frequency calculation and plotting. Allowed
options are “hg19” and “hg38”. Default is “hg38”....
Other parameters relevant to KM plot. These include
pval
, pval.coord
, pval.method
,
conf.int
, linetype
, and palette
(see ggsurvplot function from survminer package)# specify the location of the example file
file_name <- system.file("extdata", "example.pgxseg",package = 'pgxRpi')
# extract segment data
seg <- pgxSegprocess(file=file_name,return_seg = TRUE)
The segment data looks like this

The KM plot is plotted from samples with available followup state and followup time. The default grouping is “group_id” column in metadata.
You can try different grouping by group_id
parameter
You can specify more parameters to modify this plot (see parameter
...
in documentation)
The CNV frequency is calculated from segments of samples with the
same group id. The group id is specified in group_id
parameter. More details about CNV frequency see the vignette
Introduction_3_loadfrequency.
# Default is "group_id" in metadata
frequency <- pgxSegprocess(file=file_name,return_frequency = TRUE)
# Use different ids for grouping
frequency_2 <- pgxSegprocess(file=file_name,return_frequency = TRUE,
group_id ='icdo_morphology_id')

The returned object is same as the CNV frequency object with
“pgxfreq” format returned by pgxLoader
function. The CNV
frequency is calculated from groups which exist in both metadata and
segment data. It is noted that not all groups in metadata must exist in
segment data (e.g. some samples don’t have CNV calls).

You can visualize the CNV frequency of the interesting group using
pgxFreqplot
function. For more details on this function,
see the vignette Introduction_3_loadfrequency.
If you want to extract different types of data, such as segment
variants, metadata, CNV frequency and visualize the survival data
simultaneously, you can set the corresponding parameters to TRUE. The
returned data will be an object that includes all specified data. Note
that in this case, the CNV frequency and KM plot will use the same
group_id
