However, the expression of HULC was not associated with age (p = 0.713), gender (p = 0.713), alcoholism (p = 0.758), α‐fetoprotein (AFP) level (p = 1.000), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p = 0.225), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (p = 0.370), tumor number (p = 0.544), tumor size (p = 0.774), portal vein invasion (p = 0.269), or TNM stage (p = 0.733). The gene discussed is HULC; the disease is alcohol drinking.
