GPT and hepatocellular carcinoma: The hazard ratio (HR) of the probability of HCC was 3.045 [95% confidence interval (95%CI), 1.697–5.463, p = 0.003] for AST. The results of reverse MR analyses showed that gene-predictive HCC incidence could increase the levels of AST (HR = 1.031, 95%CI: 1.009–1.054, p = 2.52 × 10−4) and ALT (HR = 1.040, 95%CI: 1.019–1.063, p = 0.005).
