Abstract To characterize the genotypes of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) isolate present in North Africa, viruses were isolated from B-lymphoblastoid cell lines established from the saliva of both Algerian Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) patients and EBV-positive normal individuals, Algerian Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines, and NPC biopsies. By nucleotide sequence analysis, we showed that there were two specific missense mutations in an 89 bp region of EBNA2 gene at position 49390-49479 of the EBV genome: a mutation at 49449 (C-->A) and another mutation at 49444 (T-->C), changing their amino acid sequence. The first mutation was found in all B cell lines established from the saliva and 50% of BL cell lines, as well as the W91 cell line, while the second mutation was found in EBV isolates from NPC biopsies, BL cell lines and the M-ABA isolate. A PCR-RFLP analysis on the BamHI DNA fragment H showed that the Hl-H2-polymorphism was specifically associated with M-ABA-like mutation, while H-polymorphism was linked with W91-like mutation. The latter was not identified in NPC biopsies, but was found rather in saliva from NPC patients, normal individuals and BL cell lines. The M-ABA-like mutation, on the other hand, was found in 100% of NPC biopsies and some BL cell lines. This suggests that EBV with H1-H2-polymorphism is tightly implicated in NPC development in North Africa rather than EBV with H-polymorphism.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
