In our research, by using Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and support vector machine- (SVM-) recursive feature elimination (RFE) algorithm, six mitophagy genes (ATG12, CSNK2B, MTERF3, TOMM20, TOMM22, and TOMM40) were identified from twenty-nine mitophagy genes, next, the algorithm of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) was used to separate the HCC patients into cluster A and B based on the six mitophagy genes. This evidence concerns the gene TOMM40 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
