Abstract

AbstractThe majority of mutational signatures have been characterized in tumors from Western countries and the degree to which mutational signatures are similar or different in Eastern populations has not been fully explored. We leveraged a large-scale clinical sequencing cohort of tumors from a Chinese population containing 25 tumor types and found that the highly active mutational signatures were similar to those previously characterized1,2. The aristolochic acid signature SBS22 was observed in four soft tissue sarcomas and the POLE-associated signature SBS10 was observed in a gallbladder carcinoma. In lung adenocarcinoma, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) signature SBS4 was significantly higher in males compared to females but not associated with smoking status. The UV-associated signature SBS7 was significantly lower in cutaneous melanomas from the Chinese population compared to a similar American cohort. Overall, these results add to our understanding of the mutational processes that contribute to tumors from the Chinese population.
