An interactive and tier-structured HTML report that shows the most relevant findings in the query cancer genome is provided with the following naming convention:
sample_id.__tier_model__.__genome_assembly__.html
- The sample_id is provided as input by the user, and reflects a unique identifier of the tumor-normal sample pair to be analyzed.
- The tier_model is provided by the user and will be either ‘pcgr’ or ‘pcgr_acmg’
The report is structured in seven main sections, described in more detail below:
- Report and query settings
- Lists key configurations provided by user
- Main results
- Eight value boxes that highlight the main properties of the tumor
sample:
- Tumor purity - as provided by the user
- Tumor ploidy - as provided by the user
- Mutational signatures - two most prevalent signatures (other than aging)
- Tier 1 variants (top four)
- Tier 2 variants (top four)
- Tumor mutational burden (TMB)
- Microsatellite instability (MSI) status
- Somatic copy number aberrations of clinical significance
- Eight value boxes that highlight the main properties of the tumor
sample:
- Somatic SNVs/InDels
- Tumor mutational burden (TMB)
- given a coding target region size specified by the user (ideally the callable target size), an estimate of the mutational burden is provided
- is presently only computed for tumor-normal input (e.g. vcf_tumor_only = false)
- The estimated mutational burden is assigned a descriptive tertile based on thresholds defined by the user (these should reflect thresholds of clinical significance, and may vary for different tumor types)
- The estimated TMB is shown in the context of TMB distributions from different primary sites in TCGA
- Tier & variant statistics
- indicate total variant numbers across variant types, coding types and tiers
- Global distribution - allelic support
- distribution (histogram) of variant allelic support for somatic variants (will only be present in the report if specific fields in input VCF is defined and specified by the user)
- Global variant browser
- permits exploration of the whole SNV/InDel dataset by filtering along several dimensions (call confidence, variant sequencing depth/support, variant consequence etc.)
- Tier tables
- Variants are organized into five (tier 1-4 + noncoding) interactive datatables) according to clinical utility
- Contents of the tier tables are outlined below
- Tumor mutational burden (TMB)
- Somatic CNAs
- Segments - amplifications and homozygous deletions
- Based on user-defined/default log-ratio thresholds of gains/losses, the whole CNA dataset can be navigated further through filters:
- cytoband
- type of CNA event - focal (less than 25% of chromosome arm affected) or broad
- log ratio
- Proto-oncogenes subject to copy number amplifications
- Datatable listing known proto-oncogenes covered by user-defined/default amplifications and potential targeted therapies
- Tumor suppressor genes subject to homozygous deletions
- Datatable listing known tumor suppressor genes covered by user-defined/default losses and potential targeted therapies
- Copy number aberrations as biomarkers for prognosis, diagnosis,
and drug response
- Interactive data table where the user can navigate aberrations acting as biomarkers across therapeutic contexts, tumor subtypes, evidence levels etc.
- Segments - amplifications and homozygous deletions
- MSI status
- Indicates predicted microsatellite stability from the somatic mutation profile and supporting evidence (details of the underlying MSI statistical classifier can be found here)
- The MSI classifier was trained on TCGA exome samples.
- Will only be present in the report if specified by the user in the configuration file (i.e. msi = true) and if the input is tumor-normal (i.e. vcf_tumor_only = false)
- Mutational signatures
- Estimation of relative contribution of 30 known mutational signatures in tumor sample (using deconstructSigs as the underlying framework)
- Datatable with signatures and proposed underlying etiologies
- Will only be present in the report if specified by the user in the configuration file (i.e. mutsignatures = true) and if the input is tumor-normal (i.e. vcf_tumor_only = false)
- Trimer (i.e. DNA 3-mer)
normalization
can be configured according to sequencing approach used (WES, WXS
etc.) using the ‘mutsignatures_normalization’ option, as can the
- minimum number of mutations required for analysis (option ‘mutsignatures_mutation_limit’)
- the maximum number of mutational signatures in the search space (option ‘mutsignatures_signature_limit’)
- possibility to discard any signature contributions with a weight less than a given cutoff (option ‘mutsignatures_cutoff’)
- Documentation
- Annotation resources - software, databases and tools with version information
- References - supporting scientific literature (key report elements)

The format of the compressed TSV file is the following:
1. chrom - chromosome 2. segment_start - start of copy number segment 3. segment_end - end of copy number segment 4. segment_length_Mb - length of segment in Mb 5. event_type - focal or broad (covering more than 25% of chromosome arm) 6. cytoband 7. LogR - Copy log-ratio 8. ensembl_gene_id 9. symbol - gene symbol 10. ensembl_transcript_id 11. transcript_start 12. transcript_end 13. transcript_overlap_percent - percent of transcript length covered by CN segment 14. name - gene name description 15. biotype - type of gene 16. disgenet_cui - tumor types associated with gene (from DisGeNET, tumor types are listed as MedGen concept IDs (CUI) 17. tsgene - tumor suppressor gene status (CancerMine literature database) 18. p_oncogene - oncogene status (CancerMine literature database) 19. intogen_drivers - predicted driver gene status (IntoGen Cancer Drivers Database) 20. chembl_compound_id - antineoplastic drugs targeting the encoded protein (from DGIdb, drugs are listed as ChEMBL compound identifiers) 21. gencode_gene_biotype 22. gencode_tag 23. gencode_release
