Abstract
Introduction: Up to 54% of all lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) cases in Asian populations occur in never-smoking women, suggesting that the impact of smoking and other environmental factors on the risk of early-onset LADC is minimal. Genetic factors may play a crucial role in disease development.
Methods: The prevalence of germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) of 454 hereditary cancer and DNA repair genes was examined by whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing of 350 early-onset LADC (aged < 40 years) and 1,441 later-onset LADC (aged ≥ 41 years) cases. A case-control study comprising 10,672 LADC cases and 7,898 healthy controls was performed to identify moderate-risk genetic factors for the disease. Analysis of somatic mutations in 1,280 LADC patients, including 31 patients with GPVs, was also performed.
Results: The frequency of GPVs of TP53 and BRCA2 was significantly higher in those with early-onset LADC than in those with later-onset LADC. The detection rates for TP53 and BRCA2 GPVs were 2.9% and 1.7%, respectively, in patients with early-onset LADC, and 0.14% and 0.21%, respectively, in patients with later-onset LADC. Patients with BRCA1 GPVs showed a high incidence of concurrent TP53 somatic mutations. Patients with BRCA2 GPVs showed deficient homologous recombination in tumors via loss of the wild-type allele. A germline ALKBH2 variant, p.Glu35Alafs*54, was associated with the risk of early-onset LADC, and patients with a deleterious variant showed a correlation between SBS4-related somatic mutations and the Brinkman index.
Conclusions: TP53 and BRCA2 GPVs and the ALKBH2 novel variant are associated with early-onset LADC in Asians.
