Common Oncogenic Mutations Are Infrequent in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Asian Origin

was determined in Asian oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). gene were sequenced. Statistical analyses were conducted to identify associations between mutations and selected clinico-pathological characteristics and risk habits. mutations were G:C > A:T and A:T > G:C base transitions, regardless of the different risk habits. mutations rates were significantly lower. The lack of actionable hotspot mutations argue strongly for the need to comprehensively characterize gene mutations associated with OSCC for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools
