Background:
Genetic testing for alterations of oncogenic driver genes has become essential and standard in clinical practice. Germline mutations predisposing to lung cancer are rare, but there have been reports regarding germline mutations in EGFR, HER2, BRCA2, CDKN2A, BAP1, SFTPA2, and PARK2. Next generation sequencing is being introduced to clinical practice of lung cancer, enabling investigation of multiple oncogenic driver genes simultaneously. In addition, liquid biopsy, which analyzes cell free DNA in blood, increases the opportunity to detect germline mutations in lung cancer patients. We examined the frequency and characteristics of lung cancer patients with germline mutations.
Method:
Between February 2012 and January 2017, 3,869 patients with a diagnosis of lung cancer were seen by Division of Medical Oncology in Ohio State University. Of these, seven were found to have germline mutations. The patient characteristics and treatment outcomes were retrospectively investigated.
Result:
Table 1 shows characteristics and treatment outcomes of the seven lung cancer patients with germline mutations. Median age was 50 (range, 34-72). Three had BRCA2 germline mutations, two had germline TP53 mutations(of which one patient also had a PARK2 mutation), one had a BRCA1 mutation, and one had an EGFR mutation. Testing for other oncogenic drivers were done in five patients, and interestingly, four patients had oncogenic driver mutations. The frequency of detecting germline mutations in lung cancer patients has been increasing in recent years, but is often unrecognized by providers. In our series, one patient was found to have a germline mutation by Foundation ONE, and another was found to have a germline mutation by Foundation ACT.Year Age Sex Histology Stage Smoking hisory Other cancer Germline mutation Other somatic gene alteration Targeted therapy Respnse 2014 37 F Ad IA former smoker (2py) No BRCA2 not evaluated － － 2014 72 F Ad IV former smoker breast cancer, lung cancer EGFR T790M EGFR G719S rociletinib SD 2015 69 F Ad IIIA former smoker breast cancer, uterine cancer BRCA2 EGFR L858R － － 2015 50 F SCLC IA never smoker breast cancer TP53 Y236*, PARK2 Q347* FGFR2 amplification － － 2016 34 F Ad IV former smoker No BRCA2 L3061* MET 3028+2T>C crizotinib PR 2016 44 F Ad IV never smoker orbital rhabdomyosarcoma TP53 ALK fusion crizotinib PR 2017 62 F SCLC IV former smoker breast cancer BRCA1 not evaluated － －
Conclusion:
Introduction of next generation sequencing technology and liquid biopsies to clinical practice can raise the probability of detecting germline mutations in lung cancer patients. Clinicians should be alert to the potential existence and importance of germline mutations in their lung cancer patients.
