Whole-Exome Sequencing of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Families Reveals Novel Variants Potentially Involved in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Abstract Genetic susceptibility is likely involved in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a cancer caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Understanding of genetic factors involved in NPC and how they contribute to EBV-induced carcinogenesis is limited. We conducted whole-exome capture/sequencing...

Abstract Genetic susceptibility is likely involved in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a cancer caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Understanding of genetic factors involved in NPC and how they contribute to EBV-induced carcinogenesis is limited.
