Data Analysis
The GDC DAVE tools use the same API as the rest of the Data Portal and takes advantage of several new endpoints. Similar to the GDC Data Portal Exploration feature, 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. |
| 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:
curl "https://api.gdc.cancer.gov/ssms/57bb3f2e-ec05-52c2-ab02-7065b7d24849?expand=occurrence.case.observation.read_depth&pretty=true"

Genes Endpoint Examples
Example 1: A user would like to access information about the gene ZMPSTE24, which has an Ensembl gene ID of ENSG00000084073. This would be accomplished by appending ENSG00000084073 (gene_id) to the genes endpoint.

Copy Number Variation Occurrence Enpoint Examples
Example 1: A user is interested in finding cases that have both cnv and ssm data for females diagnosed with Squamous Cell Neoplasms and have a cnv gain change on chromosome 9. It is important to note that for a case like this, where multiple arguments are need for one filtered field, it is easier for the API to have multiple filters for the same field, case.available_variation_data in this example, than having one filter with multiple arguments.

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.

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.

/analysis/top_mutated_cases_by_gene endpoint will generate information about the cases that are most affected by mutations in a given number of genes. Below, the file count for each category is given for the cases most affected by mutations in these 50 genes. The size of the output is limited to two cases with the size=2 parameter, but a higher value can be set by the user.

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"

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.
