TCGA survival analysis with z-scores all samples altered
Hi all
I'm trying to do my own survival analysis with TCGA clinical data for PRAD in the following way:
- downloaded latest RNASeq V2 RSEM normalized for all samples
- calculated z-scores as z = (expression in tumor sample) - (mean expression in diploid samples) / (standard deviation of expression in diploid samples)
- downloaded latest clinical data
- followed "tutorial" here
...however, using a threshold of +/- 1.96 for zscores, which should correspond to a p = 0.05, I have all the tumor samples that present at least one alteration in my gene signature...this means that I cannot really build a kaplain meier plot of altered vs non-altered samples...
How would you handle this situation?!

Hi, TriS
I also encounter same problem, all of my samples are tumor. Did you resolve this problem and if so, please let me know.
Thank you
