Moreover, in the stratified analyses by several variables, including ethnicity, cancer type, and source of the controls, significant association was detected among Asians, Africans, hepatocellular carcinoma, and population-based population for HSP70-2 polymorphism, while for HSP70-hom polymorphism, we observed a significant association in hospital-based population under homozygote comparison model. Here, HSPA1B is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
