Abstract: Three variations (
g48991t,
c48998a,
t49613a) were detected in all of the samples (113/113, 100%).
Result: Among the 20 loci with nucleotide changes, three nucleotide mutations (
g48991t,
c48998a and
t49613a) were detected in all the
EBVaGC,
NPC and TW samples (113/113, 100%) (Figure 1).
Discussion: Of the three common mutations, amino acid mutation
R163M and silent mutation
c48998a were previously identified in 13 Korean isolates, 18 of 33
oral squamous cell carcinoma cases in Okinawa, Japan and 6
