All the following variables were found to be associated (at p < 0.1) with GNAS in a univariate model (Fisher’s exact test) (from Tables 1 and 2) were included in a multivariate logistic regression model: adenocarcinoma histology, peritoneal metastasis, brain cancer diagnosis, ocular melanoma diagnosis, appendiceal cancer diagnosis, number of characterized genomic co-alterations, KRAS, MYC, SMAD4, AURKA, MCL1, SRC, TOP1, CCNE1, AKT2, CBL, LYN, ZNF703. In the multivariate model, results were considered significant if p < 0.05.
As all 18 factors with p-value of 0.1 or less in univariate were included, the Bonferroni correction was used to account for multiple comparisons. A significant p-value after Bonferroni correction was 0.0028 or less.
