Human Papillomavirus Integration Strictly Correlates with Global Genome Instability in Head and Neck Cancer
3 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive head and neck cancers, predominantly oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), exhibit epidemiologic, clinical, and molecular characteristics distinct from those OPSCCs lacking HPV. We applied a combination of whole-genome sequencing and optical genome mapping to interrogate the genome structure of HPV-positive OPSCCs. We found that the virus had integrated in the host...
