EGF rs4444903 polymorphism is associated with risk of HCV-related cirrhosis and HBV/HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma.

International journal of clinical oncology - 1 Nov 2021

Wang Jia, Zhong Yanlin, Meng Guixia

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The epidermal growth factor (EGF) rs4444903 polymorphism is associated with aberrant expression of EGF, which was a characteristic of cirrhotic liver diseases, induces highly malignant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Numerous studies have uncovered the association of this polymorphism with the risk of liver disease, but with inconsistent findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Therefore, this meta-analysis...
