Our results revealed that 27 complement genes, including C1QA, C1QB, C1QC, C1R, C1S, C3, C5, C6, C7, C8A, C8B, C9, CFB, CFD, CFI, CFP, CFHR3, CFHR4, C5AR1, SERPING1, MBL2, MASP1, C4BPA, CLU, CPN1, VSIG4, and CR1, were significantly downregulated in HCC tissues than in normal tissues (p < .05). Here, SERPING1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
