Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Bacterial translocation drives liver disease progression. We investigated whether functional genetic variants in toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5), the receptor for bacterial flagellin, affect the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Healthy controls (n = 212), patients with alcohol abuse without liver disease (n = 382), and patients from a discovery cohort of alcohol-associated...
