Abstract excerpt
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a life-threatening disease that is often associated with chronic infection by hepatitis B and C viruses. Genetic polymorphisms have been reported to alter the risk for HCC development. Genetic studies based on the haplotype have an increased power for detecting disease associations compared with single-nucleotide polymorphism-based analysis. There is sufficient epidemiological...
