Abstract excerpt
Multiple factors including chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) are believed to increase the risk of HCC. Furthermore, recent studies on genetic mutations during HCC development have revealed potential genetic factors that may account for the development of the cancer, however, the roles of Visfatin polymorphisms and its relationship in HCC have not yet been demonstrated. The aim of current study was to...
