It also revealed that the viral DNA was integrated into one allele of BCL11B in the human genome, a gene that has been previously implicated in human tumorigenesis.44, 45, 63, 64, 65 Additional molecular genetic analyses identified the viral transcripts in the tumor and ascertained that the HPV70 DNA insertion resulted in fusion transcripts between the virus and portions of the BCL11B gene, including a novel cryptic exon. The gene discussed is BCL11B; the disease is neoplasm.
