Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies nine loci associated with higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma development
11 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background & Aims: The genetic underpinnings of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain largely unknown. Thus, we aimed to identify new genetic risk loci for HCC. Methods: We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of 11 cohorts with validation in two independent cohorts. The identified variants were tested for effects on other hepatobiliary endpoints, and on incident HCC stratified by...
