Whole exon sequencing revealed that there were high rates of non-synonymous mutations in MPC-1 affecting various genes, including Akap9, Arap2, Cdh11, Hjurp, Mroh2a, Muc4, Muc6, Sp110, and Sp140, which are similar to that the mutations present in a panel of chemical carcinogenesis-related murine tongue carcinoma cell lines. The gene discussed is MPC1; the disease is tongue cancer.
