HCC Ab-seroreversion rates (or infection loss rates) from this analysis are also consistently larger than HCC Ab-seroconversion rates (or infection acquisition rates), in agreement with comparisons of HCC Ab-seroreversion to Ab-seroconversion (or Ag-seroreversion to Ag-seroconversion) estimates in the literature, which are generally based on cumulative seroconversion and seroreversion proportions, or rule-based modelling approaches (Dermauw et al., 2018; Garcia et al., 2001; Coral-Almeida et al., 2015; Mwape et al., 2013). This evidence concerns the gene RENBP and hepatocellular carcinoma.
