We found that MET expression was significantly higher in HCC tumor tissues than in 50 normal tissue samples (Figures 3A, and S1B), and a positive correlation between the expression of PLAGL2 and MET was observed in 15‐paried HCC tumor tissues (Figure 3B) (r = 0.5730, p < 0.01). The gene discussed is PLAGL2; the disease is neoplasm.
