For this analysis, the relative HULC expression in tumor tissues from the 38 HCC patients were classified into two groups: HULC(L) - Low relative levels of HULC mRNA (n=15, fold change < 7.0) and HULC(H) - High relative levels of HULC mRNA (n=23, fold change ≥ 7.0, Figure 1B). Here, HULC is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
