The other 38 genes (HDAC9, DDX58, CYLD, MAPK8, CFLAR, MPG, RIPK1, TARDBP, SIRT2, BRAF, BCL2L11, OTULIN, ATRX, DIABLO, STUB1, SPATA2, MLKL, MAP3K7, HAT1, FADD, ITPK1, CASP8, HSP90AA1, RNF31, HSPA4, USP22, TNFRSF21, SLC39A7, TSC1, SQSTM1, TRIM11, TRAF2, DNMT1, LEF1, PLK1, MYCN, CDKN2A, and CDKN2A) were upregulated in HCC samples (Fig. 1B). Here, SQSTM1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
