When we analyzed whether there was any relationship between these 8 lncRNAs and a specific hepatitis virus associated with HCC, we found that 4 lncRNAs, BC017743, BC043430, LINC01152 and TMEVPG1, were highly up- or down-regulated in hepatitis viruses-related HCC. The gene discussed is IFNG-AS1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
