Popis: We present the largest whole-genome sequencing (WGS) study of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to date among 6,004 individuals of Chinese ancestry, coupled with 23,049 individuals genotyped by SNP array. We construct a high-quality haplotype reference panel for imputation and identify 20 common and low-frequency loci (minor allele frequency [MAF] ≥ 0.5%), including five loci that have never been reported before. For rare loss-of-function (LoF) variants (MAF 0.5%), we identify BRCA2 and 18 other cancer predisposition genes that affect 5.29% of individuals with NSCLC, and 98.91% (181 of 183) of LoF variants have not been linked previously to NSCLC risk. Promoter variants of BRCA2 also have a substantial effect on NSCLC risk, and their prevalence is comparable with BRCA2 LoF variants. The associations are validated in an independent case-control study including 4,410 individuals and a prospective cohort study including 23,826 individuals. Our findings not only provide a high-quality reference panel for future array-based association studies but depict the whole picture of rare pathogenic variants for NSCLC.
