  1. Mutual exclusivity between PNKP and candidate mutations in TCGA PanCancer Atlas studies in cBioPortal. Neither: Numbers of samples with alterations in neither A or B. Only A/Only B: Numbers of samples with alterations in only gene A/B. Both A + B: Numbers of samples with alterations in both gene A and B. Log2 odds ratio: Quantifies how strongly the presence or absence of alterations in A are associated with the presence or absence of alterations in B in the selected samples. OR = (Neither * Both)/(A Not B * B Not A). Log2 odds ratio > 0: Tendency towards co-occurrence. Log2 odds ratio < = 0: Tendency towards mutual exclusivity. p-value: derived from one-side Fisher Exact Test. q-Value: derived from Benjamini–Hochberg FDR correction procedure.
