Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is an aggressive cancer with poor quality of life, largely due to the absence of reliable molecular biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis. While somatic structural variations (SVs) have been documented in LSCC, conventional short-read sequencing approaches are inherently limited in detecting of large-scale somatic SVs, which are critical to understanding tumorigenesis. Here, we presented SomaGauss-SV, a somatic SVs detection workflow leveraging nanopore long-read sequencing data. Benchmarking against five paired tumor cell line datasets showed SomaGauss-SV consistently achieves a balanced high precision and recall. SomaGauss-SV applied to 15 paired LSCC tumor-blood samples uncovered a comprehensive SVs landscape and a significant positive correlation between somatic deletion burden and smoking intensity. Furthermore, a high-frequency somatic simple repeat expansion was identified in 20/27 (74.1%) of LSCC patients, upregulating the expression of genes TP53BP2 and FBXO28 through spatial proximity. These findings underscore the potential of long-read sequencing and SomaGauss-SV in uncovering previously unexplored genomic rearrangements in LSCC, providing valuable resources for biomarker discovery.
