GALNT14 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Recently, the genotypes of the GALNT14-rs9679162 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been shown to be an effective predictor for systemic chemotherapy response in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), based on a genome-wide exploration of 500,000 SNPs in human white blood cells [23], and subsequent prospective [24] and retrospective validations [25, 26].
