PDLIM7 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: There was a significant association between 30 bp del LMP1 and the NPC susceptibility in the studies conducted in endemic regions when comparing biopsies from NPC and healthy individuals (OR = 6.91, 95% CI = 1.18–40.35, p = 0.030) (Figure 22), but also when comparing NPC biopsy and throat washings from healthy individuals (OR = 2.80, 95% CI = 1.62–4.84, p < 0.001) (Figure 23).
