After combining our data with those of other studies to perform a meta-analysis, we identified that several SNVs for HLA-DQ and COL11A2P1 were also associated with HCC in Taiwanese participants (Table S1), and some subtypes of IFNL3 and IFNL4 exhibited a stronger correlation with HCC in Japanese participants (Table S2). This evidence concerns the gene IFNL4 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
