Mutational profile and validation of RNA-seq data. (A) Somatic nonsynonymous variants in genes recurrently mutated in ≥10% ICGC GB-SCC or TCGA HNSCC samples. (B) Somatic truncating and splice site mutations and missense variants predicted to be deleterious by ≥5 functional prediction tools. *Variants classified as deleterious by 4 prediction tools. (C–E) Validation of RNA-seq data by qPCR. 30 genes identified to be differentially expressed across OSCC cell lines were validated by Real time qRT-PCR. Comparison of gene expression values of RNA-seq and qPCR showed concordance in the data.
