查询cBioPortal获取癌症基因组学数据,包括体细胞突变、拷贝数改变、基因表达和数百项癌症研究的生存数据。对于癌症靶点验证、癌基因/抑癌基因分析和患者水平基因组分析至关重要。
cBioPortal 数据库
概述
cBioPortal 癌症基因组学(https://www.cbioportal.org/)是一个开放获取的资源,用于探索、可视化和分析多维癌症基因组学数据。它托管了来自癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)、AACR GENIE 项目、MSK-IMPACT 和数百个其他癌症研究的数据——涵盖数千个癌症样本的突变、拷贝数变异(CNA)、结构变异、mRNA/蛋白质表达、甲基化和临床数据。
关键资源:
- cBioPortal 网站: https://www.cbioportal.org/
- REST API: https://www.cbioportal.org/api/
- API 文档(Swagger): https://www.cbioportal.org/api/swagger-ui/index.html
- Python 客户端:
bravado或requests - GitHub: https://github.com/cBioPortal/cbioportal
何时使用此技能
在以下情况下使用 cBioPortal:
- 突变谱系: 特定癌症类型中有多少比例的样本在特定基因中发生突变?
- 癌基因/TSG 验证: 某基因在癌症中是否频繁突变、扩增或缺失?
- 共突变模式: 基因 A 和基因 B 的突变是否互斥或共存?
- 生存分析: 某基因的突变是否与更好的或更差的患者预后相关?
- 变异谱系: 哪些类型的变异(错义、截短、扩增、缺失)影响某个基因?
- 泛癌分析: 比较不同癌症类型的变异频率
- 临床关联: 将基因组变异与临床变量(分期、分级、治疗反应)联系起来
- TCGA/GENIE 探索: 系统访问 TCGA 和临床测序数据集

| 端点 | 描述 |
|----------|-------------|
| GET /studies | 列出所有研究 |
| GET /studies/{studyId}/molecular-profiles | 研究的分子谱系 |
| POST /molecular-profiles/{profileId}/mutations/fetch | 获取突变数据 |
| POST /molecular-profiles/{profileId}/discrete-copy-number/fetch | 获取 CNA 数据 |
| POST /molecular-profiles/{profileId}/molecular-data/fetch | 获取表达数据 |
| GET /studies/{studyId}/clinical-attributes | 可用的临床变量 |
| GET /clinical-data/fetch | 临床数据 |
| POST /genes/fetch | 按符号或 Entrez ID 获取基因元数据 |
| GET /studies/{studyId}/sample-lists | 样本列表 |
最佳实践
- 了解研究 ID: 使用 Swagger UI 或
GET /studies查找正确的研究 ID - 使用样本列表: 每个研究有一个
all样本列表和子集;始终指定合适的列表 - TCGA vs. GENIE: TCGA 数据全面但较旧;GENIE 有更新的临床测序数据
- Entrez 基因 ID: API 使用 Entrez ID — 使用
/genes/fetch从符号转换 - 处理 404 错误: 某些分子谱系可能不存在于所有研究
- 速率限制: 批量查询时添加延迟;大规模分析考虑下载数据文件
数据下载
对于大规模分析,直接下载研究数据:
