STING1 and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: This variant was in high LD with rs1131769 (r2 = 0.93), a missense variant in STING1 which was an identified locus for overall HNSCC risk (OR = 1.13 (1.09, 1.18), pmeta = 2.38 × 10−10), and seemed to be driven by non-HPV driven tumours (Table 1 and Fig. 3a, b).
