Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metabolic pathways are crucial in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) pathogenesis, but causal metabolic genes remain unclear. This study used Summary data-based Mendelian Randomization (SMR) and colocalization to identify metabolism-related genetic loci influencing HCC risk. METHODS: Differentially expressed genes in hepatic malignancy phenotype versus normal tissues from TCGA and GTEx were analyzed....
