Among this list of genes, only 26 were already described in the HTLV-1 literature (noted with an asterisk): ALCAM, BHLHE40, CDH1, CFLAR, GADD45B, GATA3, HLA-C, ICAM1, IL10RA, IL15, INPP1, ITPR1, JUNB, MEF2C, NEDD9, NEDD4L, NR4A1, PLAT, PTP4A3, REL, SORD, SSTR2, TANK, TNFSF9, TRAF1 and TRIB1), whereas 44 were not associated with HTLV infection and will deserve further studies (Figure 12). Here, MEF2C is linked to deltaretrovirus infections.
