On univariate and multivariate analyses, elder age and having at least one copy of the mutant rs3210714 were associated with a significantly increased risk of HCC (P < 0.001 for both), whereas the presence of at least one copy of the mutant rs11950384 carried a significantly reduced risk of having HCC (P < 0.01).

AA or AC) among HCC patients in comparison with controls (83% vs 22%, P ≤ 0.001) and (65.5 vs 86%, P = 0.005), respectively, while rs7719521 mutation did not reach significance.
Our results revealed that three SNPs (rs1059279, rs1059829, rs1053411) were significantly associated with increased risk of CWP under an additive model (OR = 1.35, 95%CI = 1.06-1.71, P = 0.015 for rs1059279; OR = 1.20, 95%CI = 1.03-1.39, P = 0.021 for rs1059829; OR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.03-1.65, P = 0.025 for rs1053411).

Since the presence of the rs2304052 C allele is associated with an increased risk (odds ratio: 2.76) of developing hepatocarcinoma, our results allowed us to identify a SNP in the SPARC gene correlating to HCC susceptibility.
Here we show that a glycine-to-cysteine substitution at position 375 (Gly375Cys) in human FGFR3 causes ligand-independent dimerization and phosphorylation of FGFR3 and that the equivalent substitution at position 369 (Gly369Cys) in mouse FGFR3 causes dwarfism with features mimicking human achondroplasia.
