Based on the gene expression in two independent GEO microarrays corresponding to HCC metastasis, the association of the genes CLEC4M, CRHBP, MARCO, MT1X, SRPX, UBAP2L, and VIPR1 with metastasis was further analysed; unfortunately, data for the other genes were unavailable. This evidence concerns the gene MARCO and hepatocellular carcinoma.
