Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major public health problem and its pathogenesis remains unresolved. A recent proteomics study discovered a lipid enzyme Sterol O-acyltransferase (SOAT1) involvement in the progression of HCC. We aimed to explore the association between SOAT1 genetic variation and HCC. METHODS: We genotyped three exonic SOAT1 variants...
