Hello all,

My objective is to analyze RNA sequencing data for leukemia patients in TCGA database that I want to combine to available clinical ( overall survival or disease free survival data) and mutations data. Number of these leukemia patients have DNMT3A mutations. We want to evaluate whether DNMT3A mutations or lack of it affects the survival outcome. Our preliminary experimental data indicate that gene X interacts with DNMT3A to regulate its function. To test if we divide patients further in group1(DNMT3A mutated + Gene X High expression) vs group2(DNMT3A mutated + Gene X Low expression) and similarly group3( DNMT3A WT + Gene X High) vs group4(DNMT3A WT + Gene X Low) will it impact patient's overall survival or DFS.

I have come across few workflows that integrate gene expression and patients clinical data but I'm unsure how one would do such analysis if another variable (mutations) is introduced. Please help me if you know how it can be done.

Thanks PK
