Hi,

I am using cBioPortal and I have made a survival plot for my gene of interest in breast cancer studies.

Can I restrict the analysis to expression level only, like a KMplotter plot, or can I only have "unaltered" and "altered" as my groups? I would like to see if my gene is associated with GOF or LOF changes.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Zoe

Hi Zoe,

I'm not familiar with KMplotter, but if I understand correctly, you want to compare outcomes for samples with high or low expression in a gene? If that's the case, there are multiple ways you can do this with cBioPortal. One option is to use OQL to run a query where your 'altered' samples will be defined based on mRNA expression z scores - see this video for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHlFXw2TMzc Or, you can define groups in study view based on mRNA expression levels and compare those groups - see this video for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTiKUXk0j0s

I hope that helps! If not, can you please clarify what you're trying to do?
