-value a,b,c represents the non-HCC, HCC, and chronic HBV infection patients compared to the healthy control groups adjusted for age, gender, smoking, and drinking by logistic regression analysis. The two-sided χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test was used in allele distribution comparison. CI, confidence interval; ECM, extracellular matrix; HBV, hepatitis B virus; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; OR, odds ratio; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism.
