From the transcriptomic analysis provided by this study, it was possible to investigate the transcriptional landscape of EBV-associated gastric cancer, where high expression of genes involved in immune processes (GBP4, C1QA, ICAM1, CXCL11) and pro-inflammatory processes (IRF, IL32, TNF) was observed in EBV-positive samples. Here, C1QA is linked to gastric cancer.
