In order to verify the expression of SNHG14 in HCC and adjacent tissues, we tested the expression of SNHG14 in 66 pairs of samples and Chi-squared analysis indicated that high expression of SNHG14 was significantly associated with advanced BCLC stage (P = 0.047) in HCC (Supplementary Table 2). Here, SNHG14 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
