Result: In the study subjects with the data of HBV mutations in the
EnhII/
BCP/
PC region, pri-miR-34b/c rs4938723 in dominant genetic model was significantly associated with an increased risk of
HCC whereas its interaction with
C1730G, a HBV mutation inversely associated with
HCC risk, was significantly associated with a reduced risk of
HCC; the interaction of pre-miR-196a2 rs11614913 TC genotype with
G1896A was significantly associated with an increased risk of
HCC (Table 4).
