Although the NAFLD patients had more women compared to the viral etiologies, there were no differences in the clinical presentations of men and women except serum AFP level at the time of HCC diagnosis, where women were more likely to have a higher AFP with a median of 9 ng/mL (IQR: 4.9–45.0), compared to men who presented with a median of 4 ng/mL (IQR: 3–6.7, P = 0.016) [Supplementary Table 1]. The gene discussed is AFP; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
