We found that elucidated the expression of ADNP was positively correlated with the higher T stage (Fig. 6A), pathologic stage (Fig. 6B), histological grade (Fig. 6C), and AFP expression (Fig. 6D), which indicated ADNP had an affinity with malignant progression and poor prognosis in HCC. The gene discussed is ADNP; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
