ALB and hepatocellular carcinoma: Similarly, seven genes (ABCB6, ALB, BECN1, CP, DAXX, SLC31A1, and STEAP4) were found to significantly influence the OS of patients in the ICGC-LIRI-JP dataset, and higher expression levels of ABCB6, BECN1, and DAXX were associated with worse OS, whereas those of ALB, CP, SLC31A1, and STEAP4 were associated with better prognosis for patients with HCC (Figures 1C, D).
