In the TCGA study, one gastric cancer had evidence of integration of the EBV genome into the human genome as revealed by multiple independent RNAseq reads revealing a fusion transcript predicted to join the first 20 amino acids of the human plasminogen receptor (PLGRKT, alias C9orf46) to almost the entire coding sequence of the early lytic EBV gene BHLF1 (alias EA-D). This evidence concerns the gene PLGRKT and gastric cancer.
