Molecular Classification of Cancer: Class Discovery and Class Prediction by Gene Expression Monitoring T.R. Golub et al., Science 286, 531 (1999) Introduction Why is Identification of Cancer Class (tumor subtype) important? Cancers of Identical grade can have widely variable clinical courses (i.e. acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or Acute myeloid leukemia). Tradition Method: Morphological appearance. Enzyme-based histochemical analyses. Immunophenotyping. Cytogenetic analysis. Topics of Discussion Class Prediction (supervised learning). Class Discovery (unsupervised learning). Class Prediction How could one use an initial collection of samples belonging to know classes to create a class Predictor? Identification of Informative Genes via Neighborhood Analysis. Weighted Vote Neighborhood Analysis Why do we want to start with informative genes? To be readily applied in a clinical setting. Highly instructive Neighborhood Analysis 1. 2. 3. v(g) = (e1, e2, ..., en) c = (c1, c2, ..., cn) Compute the correlation between v(g) and c. 1. Euclidean distance 2. Pearson correlation coefficient. 3. P(g,c) = [µ1(g) - µ2(g)]/[ σ1(g) + σ2(g)] Neighborhood Analysis Class Predictor via Gene Voting 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Parameters (ag, bg) are defined for each informative gene ag = P(g,c) bg = [µ1(g) + µ2(g)]/2 vg = ag(xg - bg) V1 = ∑ | Vg |; for Vg > 0 V2 = ∑ | Vg |; for Vg < 0 PS = (Vwin - Vlose)/(Vwin + Vlose) The sample was assigned to the winning class for PS > threshold. Class Predictor via Gene Voting Data Initial Sample: 38 Bone Marrow Samples (27 ALL, 11 AML) obtained at the time of diagnosis. Independent Sample: 34 leukemia consisted of 24 bone marrow and 10 peripheral blood samples (20 ALL and 14 AML). Neighborhood Analysis Validation of Gene Voting Initial Samples: 36 of the 38 samples as either AML or ALL and two as uncertain. All 36 samples agrees with clinical diagnosis. Independent Samples: 29 of 34 samples are strongly predicted with 100% accuracy. Validation of Gene Voting Class Discovery Can cancer classes be discovered automatically based on gene expression? Cluster tumors by gene expression Determine whether the putative classes produced are meaningful. Cluster tumors Self-organization Map (SOM) Mathematical cluster analysis for recognizing and clasifying feautres in complex, multidimensional data (similar to K-mean approach) Chooses a geometry of “nodes” Nodes are mapped into K-dimensional space, initially at random. Iteratively adjust the nodes. Adjusting the nodes Randomly select a data point P. Move the nodes in the direction of P. The closest node Np is moved the most. Other nodes are moved depending on their distance from Np in the initial geometry. SOM Validation of SOM Prediction based on cluster A1 and A2: 24/25 of the ALL samples from initial dataset were clustered in group A1 10/13 of the AML samples from initial dataset were clustered in group A2 Validation of SOM How could one evaluate the putative cluster if the “right” answer were not known? Assumption: class discovery could be tested by class prediction. Testing of Assumption: • Construct Predictors based on clusters A1 and A2. • Construct Predictors based on random clusters Validation of SOM Predictions using predictors based on clusters A1 and A2 yields 34 accurate predictions, one error and three uncertains. Validation of SOM Searching for Finder Class Use SOM to divide the initial samples into four clusters (denoted B1 to B4) B1 corresponds to AML, B2 corresponds to Tlineage ALL, B3 and B4 corresponds to B-lineage ALL.
