简介:Objective:Toinvestigatetherelationshipbetweengenemutationandpathologicaltypeoflungcancer,inspectandverifytheconsistencybetweenhomologousgenesmutationinvariouspathologictype.Methods:CombinedwiththeCOSMICandUniProtdatabase,weobtainedthereportedoverallbig-samplemutationdataoflungcancerandtheproteinsequencesofthetop20mutatedgenes,respectively.Analyzethedataandclustertheproteinsequencesandthendeducethehomologousgene.Ultimately,analyzethemutationsofdifferentpathologicaltypesofhomologousgenes.Results:TP53(32.32%)hasthehighestmutationrateinlungcancer,followedbyEGFR(29.12%).Thecopynumbervariability(CNV)ofgenes:KRAS,LRP1B,CDKN2A,KMT2C,FAT1,PIK3CA,RB1,ERBB4,GRIN2AandKDRbetweeneachpathologicaltypeisstaticallysignificant(P<0.05).ThegenedifferentialexpressionratebetweenadenocarcinomaandsquamouscarcinomaofgeneTP53,KRAS,LRP1B,CDKN2A,STK11,FAT4,KMT2D,NFE2L2,KEAP1,PIK3CA,RB1,ERBB4,SMARCA4andKDRarestatisticallysignificant(P<0.05).ThesimilarityoftheproteinsequenceofEGFRandERBB4canreach93%,andFAT4andFAT1are81%.Forsmallcellcarcinoma,there’snodifferenceinCNVbetweenthetwogroupsofhomologousgenes,andnodifferencebetweenFAT4andFAT1inadenocarcinoma.Conclusion:TheCNVandgeneexpressionoflungcancer-associatedgenesarerelevanttopathologictypes.GFRandERBB4arehomologous,FAT4andFAT1arealsoamongthetop20mutationgenes.Additionally,there’snodifferenceinCNVbetweenthetwogroupsofsmallcellcarcinoma,whichisthesamebetweenFAT4andFAT1inadenocarcinoma.
