Moreover, we found that H2AFZ was related to immune infiltrations and was co-expressed with immune checkpoint genes, including CD274 (PD-L1), CTLA-4, HAVCR2 (TIM3), LAG3, PDCD1 (PD-1), and TIGIT (VSIG9) in HCC, indicating that H2AFZ-overexpressed HCC patients may be sensitive to immune checkpoint blockades (ICBs). Here, H2AZ2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
