Interestingly, we also found genetic alterations not previously described in HNSCC such as amplification of 14q32.33 (LINC00221) and 20q11.22 in 4 tumors, and loss and/or LOH of 5q23.2, 5q35.1 and loss of 3p24.1 (NEK10) in three tumors. The gene discussed is NEK10; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
