Molecular Characterization of the Epstein–Barr Virus in Malignant Tumors of Different Origins: An Emphasis on EBER Promoter Value for EBV Classification

The results of this study show characteristic pattern of EBV diversity based on the <i>EBNA-3C</i>, <i>EBNA-1</i>, and <i>BNLF-1</i> gene sequences, as well as the <i>EBER</i> promoter sequence in AITL, NPC, and cHL cohorts specific for the Caucasian population of southeastern Europe; however, these results may not relate to the distribution of EBV variants in other geographic areas.
