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. The gene discussed is MT1X; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
