In pursuit of the prediction of early recurrence for HCC patients, previous studies have highlighted valuable biomarkers such as Rac GTPase Activating Protein 1 (RACGAP1)6, Epithelial Cell Transforming 2 (ECT2)7, Protein Regulator Of Cytokinesis 1 (PRC1)8 et al., which are all protein-coding genes. Here, RACGAP1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
