KIF1B and hepatocellular carcinoma: We further performed a meta-analysis stratified by ethnicity (Table 3): In the Chinese sub-group, KIF1B rs17401966 was associated with HCC under allelic model G-allele vs A-allele (OR = 0.82, 95% CI 0.72–0.93, P = 0.002) and co-dominant genotype models GG vs AA (OR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.43–0.95, P = 0.028) and AG vs AA (OR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.66–0.87, P < 0.001).
