Multi-tiered genomic analysis of head and neck cancer ties TP53 mutation to 3p loss

Abstract

Trey Ideker and colleagues report a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, reporting that TP53 mutations are frequently accompanied by loss of chromosome 3p. Their data indicate that the combination of these two events has a stronger negative effect on survival rate than either event alone.
