Abstract excerpt
Betel quid (BQ) chewing is a prevailing risk for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Southeast Asia. Yet, the detailed mechanisms by which BQ chewing damages the genome are still not fully understood. Through exome sequencing of tumor-normal pairs from 196 male patients with OSCC, including 95 habitual BQ chewers and 101 non-BQ users, we conducted a quantitative survey of mutational signatures and genomic...
