a. What is the cancer with most frequent RUNX1 mutations? b. Which cancer has the most RUNX1 frameshift mutations?
a. Do kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma patients with BAP1 mutations have worse survival than those without? b. Is this gene listed in the Cancer Gene Census and, if so, what is its role in cancer?
Select to explore “Data”
Go to the home page and click “advanced search”
Select AML-US Click “download donor data”
Check Clinical data Then download

Type “RUNX1”
Just type RUNX1 in search box on ICGC data portal homepage
Select “Cancer Distribution” Skin cancer (melanoma) has the most frequent RUNX1 mutations
Use advanced search and then select missense in “mutations” tab
Go to the home page and click “advanced search”
Type “RUNX1”
Select “Frameshift” There are 17 breast cancer samples

(kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma)
5% of kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma patients have BAP1 mutations Click on Survival tab to see Kaplan-Meier plots
No, patients with BAP1 mutations have no difference in survival to those without.
But is the sample size large enough to say this confidently?
