Of these 14 mutated genes in HCC, compared with mutant genes in PHL in this study (ACTB, IRF4, CD79B, DNM2, CCT6B, ASXL3, RUNX1, PTPN6, PRDM1, PTPRD, FLT3, ERBB3, and TP53), we found no other same mutant gene between the PHL and HCC groups except for the TP53 gene. This evidence concerns the gene ERBB3 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
