We also found enrichment of several cancer pathways (viral carcinogenesis and acute myeloid leukemia; BCL2A1, FCGR1A, JUP, PML and CDKN1A, HIST1H2BD, HIST1H2BJ, IRF7 respectively), which have not been described in previous acute respiratory virus infections in the published literature. Here, IRF7 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
