Chinese lung cancer patients have distinct epidemiologic and genomic features, highlighting the presence of specific etiologic mechanisms other than smoking. Here, we present a comprehensive genomic landscape of 149 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases and identify 15 potential driver genes. We reveal that Chinese patients are specially characterized by not only highly clustered EGFR mutations but a mutational signature (MS3, 33.7%), that is associated with inflammatory tumor-infiltrating B lymphocytes (P = 0.001). The EGFR mutation rate is significantly increased with the proportion of the MS3 signature (P = 9.37 × 10-5). TCGA data confirm that the infiltrating B lymphocyte abundance is significantly higher in the EGFR-mutated patients (P = 0.007). Additionally, MS3-high patients carry a higher contribution of distant chromosomal rearrangements >1 Mb (P = 1.35 × 10-7), some of which result in fusions involving genes with important functions (i.e., ALK and RET). Thus, inflammatory infiltration may contribute to the accumulation of EGFR mutations, especially in never-smokers.
