To get preliminary data about LMP-1 patterns in eBL cases and age- and -geographically matched healthy controls for comparisons, we also performed targeted PCR and Sanger sequencing of LMP-1 in peripheral blood samples of 414 childhood eBL cases and 414 geographically matched non-BL controls obtained in the Epidemiology of Burkitt Lymphoma in East African children and minors (EMBLEM) study (34). Here, PDLIM7 is linked to Burkitt lymphoma.
