To confirm the expression patterns and clinical significance of EEF1E1, gene expression profiles of new hepatocellular carcinoma cohorts (including 202 normal controls and 243 tumor specimens) were retrieved and obtained from the project of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) database (https://dcc.icgc.org/). The gene discussed is EEF1E1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
