Abstract:Objectives: Interferon-stimulated gene 20 (ISG20) plays an important role in viral infection and cancers. This study investigated the association between ISG20 rs4566136 polymorphism with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Subjects and methods: The SNP ISG20 rs4566136 was genotyped by Sanger sequencing in 115 patients with HCC, 100 liver cirrhosis patients (LC) and 120 healthy controls (HC). Results: We observed that the frequencies of genotype ISG20 rs4566136CC and allele rs4566136C were significantl… Show more
