Result: Although the prevalence of
A1053G was extremely high in both
LC (50%) and
HCC (50%), it was only 6% in nLF and 11% in LF (p = 0.081) whereas,
T1050G/A and their combination
T1050G/A+
A1053G showed significant escalating trend over the course of infection from nLF (18%, 0%) to
HCC (54%, 32%) through LF (22%, 11%) and
LC (35%, 25%) (p = 0.035, 0.008 respectively).
