However, no such molecular target exists for squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC). An exome sequence may provide new markers for personalized medicine for lung cancer patients of all subtypes. The current study aims to discover new genetic markers that can be used as universal biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsWES of 19 advanced NSCLC patients (10 ADCA and 9 SQCC) was performed using Illumina HiSeq 2000. Variant calling was performed using GATK HaplotypeCaller and then the impacts of variants on protein structure or function were predicted using SnpEff and ANNOVAR. The clinical impact of somatic variants in cancer was assessed using cancer archives. Somatic variants were further prioritized using a knowledge-driven variant interpretation approach. Sanger sequencing was used to validate functionally important variants.ResultsWe identified 24 rare single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) including 17 non-synonymous SNVs, and 7 INDELs in 18 genes possibly linked to lung carcinoma. Variants were classified as known somatic (<i>n</i> = 10), deleterious (<i>n</i> = 8), and variant of uncertain significance (<i>n</i> = 6). We found TBP and MPRIP genes exclusively associated with ADCA subtypes, FBOX6 with SQCC subtypes and GPRIN2, KCNJ18 and TEKT4 genes mutated in all the patients.
