Using Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (TCGA, Provisional) database in cBioPortal for cancer genomics web service, we included the 13 enriched genes (BUB1B, CCNA2, CCNB1, CCNE2, CDC20, CDC6, CDC7, CDK1, CDK4, CDKN2A, CHEK1, MAD2L1, and MCM3) for identifying potential candidate biomarkers for OS and DFS in HCC patients. The gene discussed is CHEK1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
