Toll-like receptor 7 mRNA is reduced in hepatitis C based liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, out-performs alpha-feto protein levels, and with age and serum aspartate aminotransferase is a new diagnostic index.

CONCLUSION: The combination of TLR7 mRNA levels with age and AST improves the performance of TLR7 in HCC diagnosis, out-performs alpha fetoprotein and predicts early HCC. PMID: 32573389 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
