Association between tumour somatic mutations and venous thromboembolism in the 100,000 Genomes Project cancer cohort: a study protocol
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<ns3:p>Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. There is evidence that specific aberrations in tumour biology contribute to the pathophysiology of this condition. We plan to examine the association between tumour somatic mutations and VTE in an existing cohort of patients with cancer, who were enrolled to the flagship Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project. Here, we outline an a-priori analysis plan to address this objective, including details on study cohort selection, exposure and outcome definitions, annotation of genetic variants and planned statistical analyses. We will assess the effect of 1) deleterious somatic DNA variants in each gene; 2) tumour mutational burden and 3) tumour mutational signatures on the rate of VTE (outcome) in a pan-cancer cohort. Sensitivity analyses will be performed to examine the robustness of any associations, including adjustment for potentially correlated co-variates: tumour type, stage and systemic anti-cancer therapy. We hope that results from this study may help to identify key genes which are implicated in the development of cancer associated thrombosis, which may shed light on related mechanistic pathways and/or provide data which can be integrated into genetic risk prediction models for these patients.</ns3:p>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
