Abstract
•
While most molecular testing focuses on somatic alterations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, evidence is growing regarding the presence of germline lung cancer mutations. The most common lung cancer germline mutation is EGFR T790M.
•
Herein, we describe an EGFR germline mutation not previously reported outside of Asia, T725M.
•
Identification of germline lung cancer mutations could help to identify new therapeutic targets. Furthermore, further characterization of these mutations can aid in the development of screening and surveillance guidelines for patients with hereditary lung cancer, which currently do not exist.
