Genes implicated in the deregulation of genomic stability, p53 and Akt2, were underexpressed in the MCPyV-positive NSCLC samples compared to controls and the MCPyV-negative NSCLC samples (Figure 2C), while Akt1 was underexpressed in the MCPyV-positive NSCLC samples compared to the controls but overexpressed compared to the MCPyV-negative NSCLC samples. Here, TP53 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
