Autophagy-Related 5 Gene rs510432 Polymorphism Is Associated with Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection.

CONCLUSION: These results indicate that rs510432 genotypes AA+GA are associated with disease progression and HCC risk in chronic HBV infection, providing novel evidence for a role of ATG5 in the pathogenesis of HBV-related HCC.
