Results showed a positive correlation between elevated SF3B6 expression and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels (p = 1.6e−05), TNM stage (p = 0.014), and histological grade (p = 2.2e−05), with no correlations found for age, gender, liver fibrosis score, or vascular invasion (Figures 8D–J). Here, AFP is linked to Hepatic fibrosis.
