Thus, this pattern of EBV gene expression in PTCL (BART+EBNA1(Qp)+LMP1+LMP2A+BZLF1+) is the same as the typical latency II pattern, as previously reported in EBV-associated B-cell and NK/T cell lymphomas (HL, NKTCL) [20,41] and carcinomas (NPC) [15,19,31,40], and comparable with earlier reports for PTCL tumors [5,8]. This evidence concerns the gene PDLIM7 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
