The risk score of each HCC patient was calculated based on the equation: risk score = (0.345) *TKT value + (0.213) *CBFA2T2 value + (0.132) *PAQR4 value + (0.115) *C21orf58 value + (-0.015) *TTC39B value + (-0.043) *PLN value + (-0.077) *HSPB3 value. Here, HSPB3 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
