MTMR2 and hepatocellular carcinoma: By univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, we found that MTMR2 was a reliable and independent predictive factor for the prognosis of HCC (univariate: HR: 1.943, 95% CI: 1.452–2.600, p < 0.001; multivariate: HR 1.8521, 95% CI: 1.365–2.514, p < 0.001) (Fig. 4A, B).
