Key Points

Investigate the role of hereditary factors and environmental exposure in familial lung cancer in a specific population.
Analyzed clinical features of lung cancer in familial cases from Yunnan Province.
Examined transcriptomic profiles to identify potential biomarkers.
Studied the impact of local air pollution and hereditary factors on early-onset lung cancer.
Identified MUC16 as a significant marker in familial lung cancer.
Observed a correlation between air pollution exposure and early onset of lung cancer.
Highlighted the importance of early screening strategies for lung cancer in this population.

Abstract

Hereditary factors likely contribute to the susceptibility to both lung cancer and hypertension in this population, while chronic exposure to local air pollution may further promote their early-onset and comorbidity. Our findings highlighted the potential significance of MUC16 in familial lung cancer or even early-onset lung cancer; and provided useful data for early screening and personalized treatment strategies for lung cancer.
