The authors use an integrative clustering approach to identify two laryngeal cancer clusters with distinct prognosis and show that mutations damaging the NSD1 and NSD2 methyltransferases segregate to the cluster with favorable prognosis, and independently predict longer survival in patients with laryngeal, but not other head and neck cancers.
