Genome-Wide Analysis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas Reveals HPV, TP53, Smoking and Alcohol-Related Allele-Based Acquired Uniparental Disomy Genomic Alterations

Abstract excerpt

Smoking and alcohol intake are major risk factors in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). Although the link between TP53 mutation and smoking has been well established, very little is known about the link between acquired uniparental disomy (aUPD) and smoking and/or alcohol consumption or other clinical characteristics. We used TCGA genomic data to investigate whether smoking, alcohol intake, clinical...
