Objective: KRAS  mutation is one of important driver genes in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the patients with KRAS G12C  mutations benefit from the inhibitor AMG510. However, the frequency, concurrent pathogenic mutations, and clinical characteristic of KRAS G12C  is unknown in the NSCLC population of Northeast China.
Methods: The retrospective analysis was derived from 431 NSCLC patients in Jilin Cancer Hospital between January 2018 and June 2019. The mutation frequency and concurrent mutations of KRAS G12C  in tumor or peripheral blood was detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS).
Results: The RAS  mutant rate was observed in 10.7% (46/431) of this cohort. All RAS -driver cancers are caused by mutations in the KRAS  isoform, while the NRAS  and HRAS  isoforms were not detected. Among KRAS -mutant patients, 42 (91.3%) showed exon 2 mutation in 12 codon and 13 codon. KRAS G12C  showed a 4.6% (20/431) mutation rate in this cohort and the highest frequency (43.5%, 20/46) in KRAS -mutant-positive patients. There was no difference between tumor tissue and plasma in terms of either KRAS  or KRAS G12C  mutation. The most frequent co-occurrence mutations with KRAS G12C  were TP53 , followed by PTEN . Furthermore, KRAS G12C  was exclusive with STK11  mutation. KRAS G12C  mutation was associated with age, disease stage, and smoking status (=0.024; =0.02; =0.006), smoking remained an independent factor for KRAS G12C  mutation (=0.037), and higher mutation frequency in patients older than 60, stage I–III, or smoking in NSCLC (=0.0151, =0.0343, =0.0046, respectively).
Conclusion: KRAS  mutation was the only isoforms of RAS  family, of these 43.5% harbored the KRASG12C  subtype in northeastern Chinese NSCLC patients. KRAS G12C  is associated with age, pathological stage and smoking status, more commonly harbored TP53 /PTEN  mutations, and providing more genome profile for targeted therapy in local clinical practice.
