Based on the results of the GWAS displayed in a Manhattan plot (Figure 1(e)), as well as mRNA expression and LD analysis, we identified that SNPs in/near the candidate genes “Psoriasis susceptibility 1 candidate 1” (PSORS1C1) and “StAR related lipid trans domain containing 3” (STARD3) were associated with the expression of NM23 in HBV-related HCC (Supplementary Table S3). Here, NME1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
