The KEGG pathways of STAT family‐related genes were mainly concentrated in herpes simplex infection (hsa05168), measles (hsa05162), hepatitis B (hsa05161), influenza A (hsa05164), hepatitis C (hsa05160), pathways in cancer (hsa05200), viral carcinogenesis (hsa05203), chemokine signaling pathway (hsa04062), Jak‐STAT signaling pathway (hsa04630), and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton (hsa04810). Here, SOAT1 is linked to hepatitis B virus infection.
