Investigating the EBV methylome in PLWH: Discovery and Development of Novel EBV Diagnostics in Plasma and Saliva

US National Cancer Institute grant open #nih-5U01CA284811-03

Summary

ABSTRACT EBV(+) lymphomas are an important cause of death in people living with HIV (PLWH). Different patterns of viral and cellular gene expression have been found to characterize different subtypes of EBV(+) lymphomas. CpG methylation of EBV DNA is an important epigenetic regulator of viral and cellular gene expression. At present, we have a very limited understanding of CpG methylation in EBV(+) lymphomas in PLWH, and how this may determine patterns of viral gene expression. Although we are very successful in treating some EBV(+) lymphoma in HIV patients, many cases are diagnosed very late
