Abstract excerpt
Previously we identified that HBV(Hepatitis B virus) sequence variation, which may interact with host human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genetic variation, could influence host risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). More HBV-host interactions need to be identified. Protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 12 (PTPN12), serves as an antagonist to tyrosine kinase signaling, may play integral roles in immune...
