SMOC1 and Epstein-Barr virus infection: By analyzing the KEGG pathway, we identified 21 pathways related to the functions of OAS family and neighbor genes in the pathogenesis of BLCA, including hsa05160 (Hepatitis C), hsa05164 (Influenza A), hsa05162 (Measles), hsa05169 (Epstein-Barr virus infection), hsa05168 (Herpes simplex virus 1 infection), hsa04621 (NOD-like receptor signaling pathway), hsa05165 (Human papillomavirus infection), hsa04217 (Necroptosis), and hsa05167 (Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection) (Fig. 8D, Table S5).
