Study of Caspase 8 mutation in oral cancer and adjacent precancer tissues and implication in progression.

PLoS ONE, 2020
It is hypothesized that same driver gene mutations should be present in both oral leukoplakia and cancer tissues. So, we attempted to find out mutations at one of the driver genes, CASP8, in cancer and adjacent leukoplakia tissues.

Loss of the Y Chromosome in Oral Potentially Premalignant Disorders Predicts Malignant Progression: An Integrative Cross‐Species Multi‐Cohort Bioinformatic Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) and the extreme down‐regulation of Y chromosome gene expression (EDY) are frequently observed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, their roles in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are unclear.
