Infectious mononucleosis is primarily caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and is a common diagnosis made in emergency departments worldwide. Subclinical and transient transaminase elevations are a well-established sequela of EBV. However, acute cholestatic hepatitis is a rare complication. EBV infection should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis in patients with an obstructive pattern on liver function tests without evidence of biliary obstruction demonstrated on advanced imaging.

: RAS guanyl-releasing protein 1 (RASGRP1) deficiency is characterized by immune dysregulation and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoproliferation. Diffuse mesangial sclerosis is one of the infrequent causes of infantile nephrotic syndrome. : Here, we described a 7-year-old girl who was diagnosed with diffuse mesangial sclerosis at 5 months old and subsequently developed chronic bilateral neck swelling at the age of 3 years.

CHAMP1 (chromosome alignment-maintaining phosphoprotein 1) plays a role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR). The CHAMP1 gene is one of the genes mutated in individuals with intellectual disability. The majority of the mutations are premature termination codon (PTC) mutations, while missense mutations have also been reported.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus induced gene 3 (), a member of the IL-12 family, is known to be involved in malignant progression in a variety of cancers, but its role in melanoma is unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of EBI3 on the malignant phenotype melanoma to reveal its potential as a therapeutic target.
Methods: In this study, we used bioinformatics to analyze the expression of in pan-cancer and verified its expression level in melanoma cells by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).

Viral malignancies represent a distinct entity among cancers. Oncoviruses like the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) are highly potent inducers of oncogenic transformation leading to tumor development. HPV and EBV are known to be increasingly involved in the pathogenesis of various classes of cancers like cervical, head and neck, colorectal, breast, oral and anogenitial.
