ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Genomic alterations in 8 genes are now the targets of FDA-approved therapeutics in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but their distribution according to genetic ancestry, sex, histology, and smoking is not well established.METHODS:
Using multi-institutional genetic testing data from GENIE, we characterize the distribution of targetable genomic alterations in 8 genes among 8675 patients with NSCLC (discovery cohort DFCI, N = 3115; validation cohort Duke, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Vanderbilt, N = 5560). For the discovery cohort, we impute genetic ancestry from tumor-only sequencing and identify differences in the frequency of targetable alterations across ancestral groups, smoking pack-years, and histologic subtypes.RESULTS:
We identified variation in the prevalence of KRASG12C, sensitizing EGFR mutations, MET alterations, ALK, and ROS1 fusions according to the number of smoking pack-years. A novel method for computing continental (African, Asian, European) and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestries from panel sequencing enables quantitative analysis of the correlation between ancestry and mutation rates. This analysis identifies a correlation between Asian ancestry and EGFR mutations and an anti-correlation between Asian ancestry and KRASG12C mutation. It uncovers 2.7-fold enrichment for MET exon 14 skipping mutations and amplifications in patients of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Among never/light smokers, targetable alterations in LUAD are significantly enriched in those with Asian (80%) versus African (49%) and European (55%) ancestry. Finally, we show that 5% of patients with squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and 17% of patients with large cell carcinoma (LCLC) harbor targetable alterations.CONCLUSIONS:
Among patients with NSCLC, there was significant variability in the prevalence of targetable genomic alterations according to genetic ancestry, histology, and smoking. Patients with LUSC and LCLC have 5% rates of targetable alterations supporting consideration for sequencing in those subtypes.Palavras-chave
