Data Analysis
The GDC data analysis endpoints allow API users to programmatically explore data in the GDC using advanced filters at a gene and mutation level. Survival analysis data is also available.
Endpoints
The following data analysis endpoints are available from the GDC API:
| Node | Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Genes | /genes | Allows users to access summary information about each gene using its Ensembl ID. |
| Gene Expression | /gene_expression/availability | Allows users to retrieve the availability of gene expression data for specific cases and/or genes. |
| /gene_expression/values | Get gene expression values for specified cases and genes. | |
| /gene_expression/gene_selection | Select the most variably expressed genes for a collection of cases and genes. | |
| SSMS | /ssms | Allows users to access information about each somatic mutation. For example, a ssm would represent the transition of C to T at position 52000 of chromosome 1. |
/ssms/<ssm_id> |
Get information about a specific ssm using a <ssm_id>, often supplemented with the expand option to show fields of interest. |
|
| /ssm_occurrences | A ssm entity as applied to a single instance (case). An example of a ssm occurrence would be that the transition of C to T at position 52000 of chromosome 1 occurred in patient TCGA-XX-XXXX. |
|
/ssm_occurrences/<ssm_occurrences_id> |
Get information about a specific ssm occurrence using a <ssm_occurrences_id>, often supplemented with the expand option to show fields of interest. |
|
| CNVS | /cnvs | Allows users to access data about copy number variations (cnvs). This data will be specifc to cnvs and not a specific case. |
/cnvs/<cnv_id> |
Get information about a specific copy number variation using a <cnv_id>, often supplemented with the expand option to show fields of interest. |
|
| /cnvs/ids | This endpoint will retrieve nodes that contain the queried cnv_id. This is accomplished by adding the query parameter: /cnvs/ids?query=<cnv_id>. |
|
| /cnv_occurrences | A cnv entity as applied to a single case. |
|
/cnv_occurrences/<cnv_occurrence_id> |
Get information about a specific copy number variation occurrence using a <cnv_occurrence_id>, often supplemented with the expand option to show fields of interest. |
|
| /cnv_occurrences/ids | This endpoint will retrieve nodes that contain the queried cnv_occurrence_id. This is accomplished by adding the query parameter: /cnv_occurrences/ids?query=<cnv_occurrences_id> |
|
| Analysis | /analysis/top_cases_counts_by_genes | Returns the number of cases with a mutation in each gene listed in the gene_ids parameter for each project. Note that this endpoint cannot be used with the format or fields parameters. |
| /analysis/top_mutated_genes_by_project | Returns a list of genes that have the most mutations within a given project. | |
| /analysis/top_mutated_cases_by_gene | Generates information about the cases that are most affected by mutations in a given number of genes | |
| /analysis/mutated_cases_count_by_project | Returns counts for the number of cases that have associated ssm data in each project. The number of affected cases can be found under "case_with_ssm": {"doc_count": $case_count}. |
|
| /analysis/survival | Survival plots can be generated in the Data Portal for different subsets of data, based upon many query factors such as variants, disease type and projects. This endpoint can be used to programmatically retrieve the raw data to generate these plots and apply different filters to the data. (see Survival Example) |
The methods for retrieving information from these endpoints are very similar to those used for the cases and files endpoints. These methods are explored in depth in the API Search and Retrieval documentation. The _mapping parameter can also be used with each of these endpoints to generate a list of potential fields. For example:
https://api.gdc.cancer.gov/ssms/_mapping
While it is not an endpoint, the observation entity is featured in the visualization section of the API. The observation entity provides information from the MAF file, such as read depth and normal genotype, that supports the validity of the associated ssm. An example is demonstrated below:

Gene Expression Examples
Gene Expression Availability Endpoint
The purpose of this endpoint is to retrieve the availability of gene expression data for cases, genes, or both. The availability response informs the user if gene expression data exists for each case or gene, which are specified with case and gene IDs. Gene expression data is only available for protein-coding genes.
Example 1: A user wants to get the availability of gene expression data for a set of cases and genes.

Gene Expression Values Endpoint
The purpose of this endpoint is to retrieve the gene expression values for the given cases and genes. The response is a TSV containing the expression values for genes to cases.
The tsv_units of gene expression data must be defined by exactly one of the following:
uqfpkm- FPKM-UQ values. More information on calculations can be found here.median_centered_log2_uqfpkm- Median-centered log2(FPKM-UQ+1) values.
The median_centered_log2_uqfpkm is calculated through the following steps:
- Calculate the Median: Determine the median of all provided log2(uqfpkm + 1) values.
- Compute Median-Centered Values: Subtract the median from each log2(uqfpkm + 1) value.
- Generate the Result Sequence: Create a new sequence with the median-centered values, preserving the original order.
Example 1: A user wants to get expression values using case IDs and gene IDs.

Gene Expression Gene Selection Endpoint
Select the most variably expressed genes for a collection of cases and collection of genes. The request must define a collection of cases, a collection of genes, and a selection size. A minimum expression value may optionally be defined.
A collection of cases must be defined by case IDs.
A collection of genes must be defined by exactly one of the following:
gene_idsgene_typewhich has only one value:protein_coding.
A selection size (selection_size) defines the maximum number of genes to select.
An optional threshold (min_median_log2_uqfpkm) defines a minimum value for expression. Defaults to 1.
Example 1: A user wants to get the most variably expressed genes for a list of case UUIDs and a list of Ensembl gene IDs.

Analysis Endpoints
In addition to the ssms, ssm_occurrences, and genes endpoints mentioned previously, several /analysis endpoints were designed to quickly retrieve specific datasets used for visualization display.
Example 1: The /analysis/top_cases_counts_by_genes endpoint gives the number of cases with a mutation in each gene listed in the gene_ids parameter for each project. Note that this endpoint cannot be used with the format or fields parameters. In this instance, the query will produce the number of cases in each projects with mutations in the gene ENSG00000155657.
curl "https://api.gdc.cancer.gov/analysis/top_cases_counts_by_genes?gene_ids=ENSG00000155657&pretty=true"
This JSON-formatted output is broken up by project. For an example, see the following text:

This portion of the output shows TCGA-GBM including 45 cases that have ssms in the gene ENSG00000155657.
Example 2: The following demonstrates a use of the /analysis/top_mutated_genes_by_project endpoint. This will output the genes that are mutated in the most cases in "TCGA-DLBC" and will count the mutations that have a HIGH or MODERATE impact on gene function. Note that the score field does not represent the number of mutations in a given gene, but a calculation that is used to determine which genes have the greatest number of unique mutations.

Survival Analysis Endpoint
Survival plots are generated for different subsets of data, based on variants or projects, in the GDC Data Portal. The /analysis/survival endpoint can be used to programmatically retrieve the raw data used to generate these plots and apply different filters. Note that the fields and format parameters cannot be modified.
Example 1: A user wants to download data to generate a survival plot for cases from the project TCGA-DLBC.
curl "https://api.gdc.cancer.gov/analysis/survival?filters=%5B%7B%22op%22%3A%22%3D%22%2C%22content%22%3A%7B%22field%22%3A%22cases.project.project_id%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22TCGA-DLBC%22%7D%7D%5D&pretty=true"

Example 2: Here the survival endpoint is used to compare two survival plots for TCGA-BRCA cases. One plot will display survival information about cases with a particular mutation (in this instance: chr3:g.179234297A>G) and the other plot will display information about cases without that mutation. This type of query will also print the results of a chi-squared analysis between the two subsets of cases.

The output represents two sets of coordinates delimited as objects with the donors tag. One set of coordinates will generate a survival plot representing TCGA-BRCA cases that have the mutation of interest and the other will generate a survival plot for the remaining cases in TCGA-BRCA.
Example 3: Custom survival plots can be generated using the GDC API. For example, a user could generate survival plot data comparing patients with a mutation in genes associated with a biological pathway with patients without mutations in that pathway. The following example compares a patient with at least one mutation in either gene ENSG00000141510 or ENSG00000155657 with patients that do not have mutations in these genes.

Example 4: Survival plots can be even more customizable when sets of case IDs are used. Two sets of case IDs (or barcodes) can be retrieved in a separate step based on custom criteria and compared in a survival plot. See below for an example query.
