Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arises through heterogeneous pathways involving chronic hepatitis B virus infection, hepatitis C virus infection, alcohol-related liver disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and environmental exposures. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified host germline loci associated with HCC...
