GOLM1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: By using GP73 ≤ mean + SD as the reference group, we found that an increase of GP73 levels raises the likelihood for HCC development: HR = 7.703, 95% CI: 2.849–20.82 for the “GP73 > mean + SD” group (P < 0.001) and HR = 10.8, 95% CI: 3.699–31.543 for the “GP73 > mean + 2SD” group (P < 0.001).
