We observed elevated levels of Δ40p53 transcripts in two out of three cirrhotic liver tissues analyzed, alongside increased expression of established molecular markers of cirrhosis, including α‐smooth muscle actin (ACTA2), collagen type I (COL1A1), III (COL3A1), and IV (COL4A1) genes. This evidence concerns the gene COL4A1 and Cirrhosis.
