Integrative analyses for the heterogeneous cholangiocarcinoma
| Integrative data | Description | Discovery | Ref. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genetic alterations, gene expression and epigenetics | The samples are clustered to 4 subtypes based on their molecular landscapes which are associated with etiology. | The CCAs could be grouped to fluke-negative or positive clusters and new CCA driver genes/mutations and structural variants were discovered. | 2 |
| Copy number, DNA methylation, somatic mutations and RNA expression | Multiple omics data from TCGA are analyzed with cluster ensembles method (CLUE R package). | IDH-mutant enriched subtype has distinct molecular profiles | 70 |
| Transcriptional and copy number variation (CNV) data | Reconstruction of CCA associated transcriptional regulatory network, then integrate the CNV to the network and selected the CVN related ICC-TRN. | ICC patients could be clustered to two groups based on the gene expression of nodes in CNV-ICC-TRN. | 71 |
| Genome and transcription data | Comparison of Genomic and transcriptional alterations from different populations | CCA with or without liver fluke infection are compared and their similarity and difference are identified | 72 |
