ADARB1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Then, we also performed the multivariable stepwise Cox regression analysis and found that these two identified SNPs (METTL3 rs1263790 A > G and ADARB1 rs57884102 C > T) were independently associated with the OS of HBV‐HCC patients in the combined dataset (HR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.52–0.88, p = 0.004 for rs1263790 and HR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.34–2.20, p < 0.001 for rs57884102, in an additive genetic model, Table 3).
