VEGFA and hepatocellular carcinoma: Besides TERT promoter mutations that impact telomere maintenance, 10 pathways were found to be recurrently altered in HCC, including pathways involved in cell cycle control (TP53, CDKNA2, CCND1), oxidative stress (NFE2L2, KEAP1), and chromatin modification (ARID1A, ARID2), but also the Wnt/β-catenin pathway (CTNNB1, AXIN1) and the RTK/RAS/PI3K pathway (RPS6KA3, PIK3CA, KRAS, NRAS, FGF19, VEGFA) (32) (Figure 4).
