Figure Lengend Snippet: Clinical characteristics and germline variants associated with NPC subtypes ( n = 303 [L], 201 [A], 246 [D], and 244 [AD]) (A) Representative MRI scans of each NPC subtype (red, bulky tumor; blue, small tumor). (B) CONSORT diagram of patient selection for the NCCS cohort. (C) Association of NPC subtypes with OS and DFS. (D) Manhattan plot showing p values of germline variants associated with L, A, D, or AD subtype relative to healthy controls. Points above dashed line ( p = 8.9 × 10 −7 ) are significant variants post-Bonferroni adjustment. (E) Variants significantly associated with NPC subtypes identified in both the comparison against healthy controls and the comparison against all controls. (F and G) Tumor expression of FADS1 and DFS in A-subtype patients with CC vs. TC genotype of rs72643557 , respectively. The boxplots represent the IQR, with the horizontal line indicating the median. Mann-Whitney U test and log-rank test was used to compare between CC vs. TC in (F) and (G), respectively. Abbreviations: NPC, nasopharyngeal carcinoma; CONSORT, Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials; QC, quality control; OS, overall survival; DFS, disease-free survival; L, limited; A, ascending; D, descending; AD, ascending-descending.
Article Snippet: The following data files have been made publicly available in Mendeley Data: https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/87cwzd56kh/1 for all analyzed patients: (1) clinical annotation of the NPC subtypes, (2) PLINK files containing genotype data of germline SNPs, (3) MAF files listing detected somatic mutations, and (4) TSV files containing raw gene expression counts and transcripts per million (TPM).
