These 9 DElncRNAs consisting of five upregulated DElncRNAs (AL356056.2, AL445524.1, TRIM52-AS1, AC093642.1, and EHMT2-AS1) and four downregulated DElncRNAs (AC003991.1, AC008040.1, LINC00844, and LINC01018) were identified as the optimal lncRNA molecular markers for the HBV-related HCC diagnosis (Table 1). Here, LINC01018 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
