Principal Investigator: Todd Golub, Broad Institute, Cambridge, MA and Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, USA MeSH: Head and Neck Neoplasms https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/gap/cgi-bin/study.cgi?study_id=phs000370 This study was the first-known large-scale effort to uncover the mutational spectrum of head and neck cancers. We analyzed whole-exome sequence from 92 tumor-normal pairs and retained 74 of them for significance analysis. The majority exhibited a mutational profile consistent with tobacco exposure; human papilloma virus sequence was detectable in 15% of cases. In addition to identifying previously known HNSCC genes (*TP53, CDKN2A, PTEN, PIK3CA, and HRAS*), the analysis revealed many genes not previously implicated in this malignancy. At least 30% of cases harbor mutations in genes (such as *NOTCH1, IRF6, TP63*) that regulate squamous differentiation, implicating alterations in this process as a major driver of HNSCC carcinogenesis. Altogether, the results suggest that large-scale exome sequencing may illuminate fundamental tumorigenic mechanisms with important therapeutic implications.
