In addition to predicting HNSCC prognosis, 11 lipid metabolism‐related genes (ARSI, CYP27B1, CYP2D6, DGKG, DHCR7, LPIN1, PHYH, PIP5K1B, PLA2G2D, RDH16, and TRIB3) also affect HNSCC clinical features (stage, gender, and pathological stage). This evidence concerns the gene LPIN1 and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
