Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in liver diseases have generated some polygenic risk scores (PRSs), but their predictive effectiveness on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk assessment remains unclear. METHODS: Here, we constructed a novel combined polygenic risk score and evaluated its increment to the well-established risk model. We used 15 HCC-associated genetic loci from two PRSs...
