Hi Cyriac,

Your last post on this chat seemed to imply that TCGA mitochondrial DNA sequence mutations are available via cBioportal. But each time I enter in an mtDNA encoded gene (e.g. "MT-ND1" or "MTND1" or "ND1") in the cBioportal search box, the gene symbol pops up as invalid. Nuclear encoded mitochondrial genes (e.g. "SDHA") are searchable in the cBioportal search box for TCGA data. Thoughts? (is there another way to search, or does cBioportal just not have mtDNA encoded TCGA mutations?). Also, do you know if cBioportal offers the normal matched controls? And if we have permission/access to the private TCGA data, can we get it through cBioportal (I've downloaded the private data from CGHub, but I'm not a computer whiz, so I'd love to use the user-friendly cBioportal tools).

Thanks.
