“…Several studies suggested genetic variations of NF‐κB signaling confers increase risk for multiple cancers including NPC (Suzairi, Aizat, Aminudin, Nurfatimah, & Ankathil, ; Wang et al, ; Zhang et al, ; Zhou et al, ). Recently, whole‐exome sequencing studies from different groups consistently documented loss of function (LOF) mutations on multiple negative regulators of the NF‐κB pathway occur in nearly half of somatic NPC, including NFKBIA (Li, Chung, et al, ; Zhang, MacIsaac, et al, ; Zheng et al, ), CYLD (Li, Chung, et al, ; Zhang, MacIsaac, et al, ; Zheng et al, ), TRAF3 (Li, Chung, et al,; Zhang, MacIsaac, et al, ; Zheng et al, ), and TNFAIP3 (Zheng et al, ), NLRC5 (Li, Chung, et al, ; Zhang, MacIsaac, et al, ).…”
