Most methods for prioritizing mutations rely primarily on frequency-based criteria, where a gene is identified as having a driver mutation if it is altered in significantly more samples than expected according to a background model. Although useful, frequency-based methods are limited in that all mutations are treated equally. It is well known, however, that some mutations have no functional consequence, while others may have a major deleterious impact. The spatial pattern of mutations within a gene provides further insight into their functional consequence. Properly accounting for these factors improves both the power and accuracy of inference. Also important is an accurate background model.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Here, we develop a Model-based Approach for identifying Driver Genes in Cancer (termed MADGiC) that incorporates both frequency and functional impact criteria and accommodates a number of factors to improve the background model. Simulation studies demonstrate advantages of the approach, including a substantial increase in power over competing methods. Further advantages are illustrated in an analysis of ovarian and lung cancer data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: R code to implement this method is available at http:\/\/www.biostat.wisc.edu\/ kendzior\/MADGiC\/.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: kendzior@biostat.wisc.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btu858","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,9]],"date-time":"2015-01-09T02:26:44Z","timestamp":1420770404000},"page":"1526-1535","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["MADGiC: a model-based approach for identifying driver genes in cancer"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Keegan D.","family":"Korthauer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics and 2Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin, Madison WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Kendziorski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Statistics and 2Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, University of Wisconsin, Madison WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020115413732300_btu858-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"248","DOI":"10.1038\/nmeth0410-248","article-title":"A method and server for predicting damaging missense mutations","volume":"7","author":"Adzhubei","year":"2010","journal-title":"Nat.
