Distribution of HFE genotypes according to the aetiology of cirrhosis and the presence of HCC in 233 cirrhotic patients (133 with HCC, 100 without HCC)
| Alcoholic (n=133) | Viral (n=69) | Mixed and other (n=31) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HCC− (n=57) | HCC+ (n=76) | HCC− (n=30) | HCC+ (n=39) | HCC− (n=13) | HCC+ (n=18) | |
| HCC−, without hepatocellular carcinoma; HCC+, with hepatocellular carcinoma. | ||||||
| *WT, wild type | ||||||
| †The p value was obtained by comparing the distribution of HCC genotype according to either the presence or absence of HCC in alcoholic, viral, and mixed/other cirrhosis. | ||||||
