A genetic twist in Epstein-Barr virus-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma has been discovered.

University of Toronto researchers found that mutations within the latent membrane protein-1 (LMP1) of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) occur at different rates among Chinese, Caucasian, and Inuit patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

According to M. Daddario and P. Chauvin, "Many studies have characterized carboxy-terminal mutations within LMP1. Errors in this area are critical since this portion contains sequences responsible for LMP1 targeting, half-life, and association with host-cell proteins. Although data …
