Ten IA genes, KITLG (stem cell factor), KLRD1, CCL14, CYP2C9, CD226, CBX8, LPCAT1, RAB24, CAPG, and MSC, are dysregulated in the three comparisons of cancer samples with normal samples (HCC samples from drinkers with HBV infection vs. normal samples, HCC samples from drinkers without HBV vs. normal samples, and HCC samples from nondrinkers with HBV vs. normal samples). This evidence concerns the gene CBX8 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
