Genomic and evolutionary classification of lung cancer in never smokers

Lung cancer in never smokers (LCINS) is a common cause of cancer mortality, but is poorly characterized. Here we show, through high coverage whole genome sequencing of 232 tumors (Sherlock-Lung study), that LCINS can be separated into three subtypes, defined by somatic copy number aberrations. While the dominant subtype (‘piano’), rarely found in lung cancer from smokers, is characterized by quiet copy number profiles, the other subtypes are associated with specific arm-level amplifications and...
