Using the UALCAN database, we found that HNRNPC mRNA levels were higher in 371 primary HCC tissues than in 50 normal liver tissues (P < 0.001, Figure 1A); in addition, the expression of HNRNPC mRNA was elevated in stage 2 (P = 0.033, Figure 1B) and stage 3 (P < 0.001, Figure 1B) HCC patients compared with stage 1 HCC patients. The gene discussed is HNRNPC; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
