PLAC8 and viral infectious disease: Our findings revealed that genes associated with the cell cycle (GINS4, GRAMD4, NEDD1, NUP62), immune response (IKBKE, IL34, NFKB2, PLAC8, RELB, SVIP, TRAF2, VCAM1), and viral infection (ANKRD6, APOBEC3G, DBP, IL11RA, STAR, SV2B, TDRD10, TYK2, VHL) were upregulated, consistent with Tomar’s microarray analysis [45].
