Abstract

The germline mutation landscape in Chinese lung cancer patients has not been well defined. In this study, sequencing data of 1,021 cancer genes of 1,794 Chinese lung cancer patients was analyzed. A total of 111 pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline mutations were identified, significantly higher than non-cancer individuals (111/1794 vs. 84/10,588, p < 2.2e-16). BRCA1/2 germline mutations are associated with earlier onset age (median 52.5 vs 60 years-old, p = 0.008). Among 29 cancer disposition genes with germline mutations detected in Chinese cohort and/or TCGA lung cancer cohort, Only 11 from 29 genes are identified in both cohorts and BRCA2 mutations are significantly more common in Chinese cohort (p = 0.015). Chinese patients with germline mutations have different prevalence of somatic KRAS, MET exon 14 skipping and TP53 mutations compared to those without. Our findings suggest potential ethnic and etiologic differences between Western and Asian lung cancer patients.
