摘要: Genetic factors are important in lung cancer, but as most cancers sporadic, little is known about inherited genetic factors. We identified a three-generation family with suspected autosomal dominant cancer susceptibility. Sixteen individuals the had cancer. To identify gene(s) that cause this pedigree, we extracted DNA from peripheral blood of three and one cancer-free control member performed whole-exome sequencing. 41 alterations 40 genes all affected members not unaffected member. These were considered candidate mutations for familial Next, to somatic and/or these among sporadic cancers, exon target enrichment sequencing using 192 samples patients. detected 'candidate' multiple samples; MAST1, CENPE, CACNB2 LCT promising genes. In addition, MAST1 gene was located putative cancer-linked locus pedigree. Our data suggest several act oncogenic drivers family, likely
