In NPC, EBV persists in a latent state, characterised by the expression of specific viral genes including latent membrane proteins (LMP1, LMP2A/B), EBV nuclear antigens (EBNA1), abundant non-coding RNAs like EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs), and BamHI-A rightward transcript (BART) microRNAs [48,49]. The gene discussed is PDLIM7; the disease is nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
