APOBEC Mutagenesis is Concordant Between Tumor and Viral Genomes in HPV Positive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
2021-02-27
Abstract excerpt
APOBEC (apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like) is a major mutagenic source in human papillomavirus positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPV+ OPSCC). Why APOBEC mutations predominate in HPV+OPSCC remains an area of active investigation. Prevailing theories focus on APOBECs role as a viral restriction agent. APOBEC-induced mutations have been identified in both human cancers and...
