To investigate the association between IFITM3 rs12252-CC genotype and the expression of IFITM3 in our samples, we examined the expression of IFITM3 RNA by QG-Plex and it was found that the expression of IFITM3 RNA increased with the degree of pathological differentiation of HCC (P = 0.038, Figure 5(a)). The gene discussed is IFITM3; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
