In a bioinformatics analysis, researchers found 14 MRP genes, including MRPS21, MRPS23, MRPL9, DAP3, MRPL13, MRPL17, MRPL24, MRPL55, MRPL16, MRPL14, MRPS17, MRPL47, MRPL21, and MRPL15 were significantly upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HCC tumor samples in comparison to normal samples. This evidence concerns the gene MRPL9 and neoplasm.
