Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1 genetic polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-related HCC). We aimed to evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms in HLA-DQB1 exon region and neighboring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs rs9275572 and rs2244546) on survival of HBV-related HCC patients undergoing hepatic resection....
