Similarly, another study [63] identified two SNPs, rs115126566 in the HLA-DPA1/DPB1 locus and rs114401688 in the HLA-DQB1/DRB1 locus, associated with the risk of HBV-related HCC; rs114401688 was detected in linkage disequilibrium with rs9272105 in a different study [70]. This evidence concerns the gene HLA-DRB1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
