Chaudhary et al performed analysis using the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and cancer digital archive of HNSCC patients (1992-2013) and found BAA patients with HNSCC had a higher frequency of mutations compared to Whites, particularly in the key driver genes: P53, FAT1, CASP8 and HRAS [10]. Here, TP53 is linked to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
