The gene expression levels of both LASP1 and SYVN1 were higher in HCC tissues than in nontumorous tissues from the ICGC-LIRI-JP cohort (Figure 5L and M), and there was a positive correlation between LASP1 and SYVN1 gene levels in the HCC cohort (Figure 5N). Here, LASP1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
