Whole-genome profiling of nasopharyngeal carcinoma reveals viral-host co-operation in inflammatory NF-κB activation and immune escape

The genomic characterisation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains crucial. Here, the authors perform whole-genome sequencing for 70 NPCs with EBV gene expression, report the somatic alterations and EBV-mediated effects converging on NF-κB activation and immune escape and identify targetable hom...
