WNT7B and hepatocellular carcinoma: Data from the GSE87630 also revealed that WNT7B (p < 0.05) and CTNNB1 (p < 0.005) levels in HBV-associated HCC tissues were considerably greater than in nontumor liver tissues (Figure 1E), implying that WNT7B may play a significant role in the progression of HBV-associated HCC.
