KIF1B and hepatocellular carcinoma: Relevant research mainly concentrated on the association between the KIF1B single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (represented by rs17401966) and susceptibility of HBV-related HCC carcinogenesis [56–58], noting that the polymorphisms of KIF1B (rs17401966) might be tightly connected with a protective effect against HCC, especially in HBV-infected individuals and the Chinese population [59–61].
