This document discusses a pathway-guided approach to predicting the impact of mutations by integrating multiple omics data sources to understand how genes function in pathways. It predicts the functional consequences of mutations by quantifying their effects on surrounding pathways. Pathway signatures can implicate mutations in novel genes and identify critical points that distinguish subtypes. The approach uses curated pathway models and patient omics data to infer pathway activities, which are then used as predictive features for outcomes like drug response or subtypes. This reduces the number of features compared to using individual genes.
