We found that HCC patients with depressed expression of AACS (p=0.0032) was correlated with a better OS, while elevated transcriptional level of ACSF2 (p=0.013) and ACSF3 (p=0.0015) were greatly related to a better OS time (Figure 3A). This evidence concerns the gene ACSF2 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
