The expression of CTGF and MYB was significantly higher in HCC tissues than that in the adjacent non-tumor tissues (p < 0.05, Figure 2A), while the expression of BCLAF1, IFNGR1, and HIVEP2 was significantly lower in HCC tissues than in adjacent non-tumor tissues (p < 0.05, Figure 2A). Here, HIVEP2 is linked to neoplasm.
