Abstract: A1846T and T1674C/G are novel factors independently associated with cirrhosis and Abstract: T1674C/G, C1653T, and T1753V were specific for HCC.
Abstract: Age, abnormal ALT, HBV DNA (>=10(4) copies/ml), genotype C, C1653T, T1674C/G, T1753V, and A1762T/G1764A were independently associated with HCC compared with those without HCC.
