PDLIM7 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: EBV persists in NPC tissue predominantly as a latent infection termed latency type II, where its expression is restricted to certain viral genes: latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), LMP2, nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1), EBV-encoded RNAs (EBERs), and microRNAs (miRNAs) encoded in the BamHI rightward transcript (BART) region [2,3,4,5].
