Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and scavenger receptor class B member 1 (SCARB1) are essential regulators of systemic lipid homeostasis. Although dysregulated lipid metabolism is a hallmark of malignancy, the genetic associations between these receptors and the risks of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of LDLR and SCARB1...
