A few of the KEGG pathways associated with the functional enrichment of T-cells upregulated genes included “cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction”, “Viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor”, “chemokine signaling pathway”, “systemic lupus erythematosus”, “Epstein-Barr virus infection”, “JAK-STAT signaling pathway”, and “cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway”. Here, SOAT1 is linked to Epstein-Barr virus infection.
