The Impact of Human Mammary Tumor Virus (HMTV) on the Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and Death-Domain Associated Protein (DAXX) in Breast Carcinoma Tissues.

ABSTRACT: The presence and characteristics of HMTV in Iraqi breast cancer women are still unknown. Furthermore, the identification of HMTV in human breast carcinoma tissue of patients differs by country, and the factors that influence it are still unknown. In many epithelial tumor types, the EGFR and its signaling pathways outcomes are necessary for the behavior of cells and regulating their proliferation, and it has been discovered that DAXX has strong carcinogenic characteristics and could be a new treatment target. This case-control retrospective study investigated the presence of HMTV in paraffin-embedded blocks (FFPT) of tumor samples from 60 Iraqi women patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer and 20 cases of benign tumors as a control group. HMTV env sequences were identified by R
