Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs12427129 and rs3816153 in HOX transcript antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) might interact with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection to increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it is unclear whether HBV infection is a potential mediator between HOTAIR rs12427129, rs3816153, and HCC. This study, including 1262 HCC...
