Acquired uniparental disomy (aUPD) is a chromosomal alteration that can lead to homozygosity of existing aberrations. We used data from The Cancer Genome Atlas SNP-based arrays to identify distinct and common aUPD profiles in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Moreover, we tested relevance of aUPD for homozygous deletion (HMD), overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Overall, we found significantly higher aUPD (q = 5.34E-09) in LUSC than in LUAD. A significant portion of HMD was associated with aUPD in LUSC (24.9%) and LUAD (19.7%). We identified segmental, whole-chromosome arm and whole-chromosome aUPD, in which whole 7p arm aUPD was restricted to LUSC, while whole-chromosome 3 aUPD was observed only in LUAD, and whole-chromosome 21 aUPD was common to both LUSC and LUAD. The most frequent aUPD and HMD were observed at CDKN2A/B region in both LUAD and LUSC. In LUAD, aUPD and HMD at CDKN2A/B region were associated with shorter OS (q < 0.021 and q < 0.005), and RFS (q < 0.005 and q < 0.005), while heterozygous deletion was not associated with OS and RFS. In contrast, no association was found between aUPD at CDKN2A/B region and survival in LUSC. In LUAD, CTLA expression was significantly lower in samples with aUPD at CDKN2A/B regions than in samples without copy number and allele-based changes. Immune infiltration correlated with aUPD or HMD at CDKN2A/B, gain at HLA class I region, and aUPD at whole-chromosome q-arm or whole chromosome in LUAD, but not in LUSC. Both LUSC and LUAD have common and distinct patterns of aUPD regions with differing frequencies of occurrence and associations with outcome.
