Although lung adenocarcinomas frequently metastasize to the brain, treatment options for lung adenocarcinoma brain metastases (BM-LUAD) are limited. We discovered novel candidate drivers of progression by using case-control analyses to compare whole-exome sequencing data from a cohort of 73 BM-LUAD to a control cohort of 503 primary lung adenocarcinomas. We identified MYC, YAP1 and MMP13 as genomic regions with significantly more frequent amplifications in BM-LUAD compared to control cohort. We validated that MYC, YAP1 and MMP13 can drive brain metastases in a patient-derived xenograft mouse model, where incidence of brain metastases was higher in mice injected with tumor cells expressing the candidate drivers compared to tumor cells expressing LacZ. These results indicate that somatic alterations can drive lung adenocarcinomas to metastasize to the brain. These candidate drivers may serve as therapeutic targets in patients with brain metastatic lung adenocarcinomas. Citation Format: Naema Nayyar, David J.
