DCAF11 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Furthermore, using a slightly relaxed p-value cut-off (p < 0.1), 4 of the 7 hub-genes (DCAF11, PKM2, DGAT2 and BCAT1) showed provisionally significant differences between the survival kinetics of HCC patients exhibiting low and high expression levels of these genes, in terms of all three genera of survival.
