Analysis of 675 tumors revealed activation of PIK3CA and other PI3K/AKT pathway genes in 31% of squamous carcinomas and 24% of adeno- and adenosquamous tumors, predominantly at two sites (E542K, E545K) in the helical domain of the PIK3CA gene.

An increased frequency of the C allele of PIK3CA rs1607237 was observed in OSCC patients as compared with controls; However, the significance was lost after Bonferroni correction (P = 0.048, pc = 0.576).
