We reported a high prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA and the absence of p53 mutations among 24 squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) from 25 Fanconi anemia patients (1). By contrast, van Zeeburg et al. describe an unpublished series of five cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) from Fanconi anemia patients in which they identified mutations in p53 in four cases and the absence of detectable HPV DNA in all cases.
