These are ccmGDB's annotation categories for your query. Each has been linked to each annotation part.
1) Gene Summary Category
This category shows the gene's overall information from basic information such as symbol, alias, and locations to expression, pathway, regulation, and context. Blue letters are linked to each the respective database.

2) Mutation Category
ccmGDB offers various mutation annotations. The first image shows the structural variations in a circos plot. 
This is for chromosomal rearrangement variations. ccmGDB shows inter-chromosomal rearrangements and intra-chromosomal rearrangements seperately. For PTEN gene, in prostate cancer type, inter-chromosomal variations is high. However, for the intra-chromosomal variations, ovary cancer type is high.


From the ChiTars2.0's human 1,400 break point information, ccmGDB shows the chimeric transcripts including PTEN as shown below. We also supply links for structural variants of other databases.
From COSMIC's CNV data, ccmGDB shows the GAIN (red) or LOSS (green) information per each tissue. 
From COSMIC SNV data, ccmGDB shows the lollipop plot for PTEN with the non-synonymous (red circles) and synonymous (blue circles) mutations. Circle size indicateds mutaiton counts for that loci such that a larger circle indicates more mutation counts.
These piecharts show the SNV ratio per tissue and mutation type of COSMIC data. 
This table shows the top 10 SNVs for PTEN. Sorting is based on number of recurrent samples.
This lollipop image is for SNV data from TCGA.
This table shows the top 10 SNVs for TCGA data. And ccmGDB offers other database links.
This copy number plot shows the differential copy number for 15 TCGA cancer types. 
3) Gene Expression Category
The gene expression category covers various expression from 3 different databases. The image below shows gene expression for 20 CCLE cancer types. 
ccmGDB provides protein expression plots. Only 24 genes were included among over 2,00 cmGenes.
From 8 TCGA cancer types' RNA-seq expression values, ccmGDB provide differential gene expression between tumor and matched normal samples. 
From 15 TCGA cancer types, we drew the correlation plots between CNV and gene expression. In the LAML cancer type, there's no copy number variation. However, in the LUSC cancer type, we can see the positive correlation.
4) Gene-Gene Network Category
To compare the active genes between tumor and matched normal samples, we analyzed expression using the top 20 co-expressed genes' expression with PPI and we made a network. Using gene elements under the network, we can do the pathway enrichment test. 
From all interacting genes, ccmGDB shows the most related KEGG pathway using DAVID web site links.
This table shows all interacting genes which are from PathwayCommons database. 
5) Pharmacological Information Category
Pharmarcological information category shows drug related cross references. Drug-Gene Interaction Network image shows gene-centered network and drug-centered netwrok

Under network is for drug-centered network. And user also can see the drug structure.
6) Phenotypic Information Category
This cagegory shows information related phenotypes of this gene. The major phenotype is cancer. The second is OMIM's supporting disease information. And Orphanet also supports related syndromes. Lastly mouse phenotype link is provided to see the phenotype.
7) Cross Reference Table
This table shows cross reference information from parsing Uniprot data.
