ZNF165 and hepatocellular carcinoma: The average quantification of ZNF165 mRNA was 88-fold higher in HCC (the average EI value is 22.81 in 22 samples of ZNF165 mRNA positive) than in paired noncancerous liver tissues (the average EI value is 0.26 in eight samples of ZNF165 mRNA positive) (Figure 2).
