Additionally, we analyzed the correlation between HIF1A-AS1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics in HCC patients, which were divided into the high HIF1A-AS1 group (n = 25) and low HIF1A-AS1 group (n = 25) with the median value of HIF1A-AS1 expression as a cutoff point. Here, HIF1A is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
