## Abstract Promoter hypermethylation of various tumor‐related genes is extremely frequent in Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC). To investigate the significance of the promoter methylation in EBVaGC, we focused on one of the important proteins in the carcinogenesis of t
