Nature of Base Substitutions in the 53 Point Mutations of the β-Catenin Gene in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
| Substitutions | HBV(+) | HBV(−) |
|---|---|---|
| Transition | ||
| G:C to A:T | 10 (36) | 9 (36) |
| A:T to G:C | 12 (43) | 7 (28) |
| Transversion | ||
| G:C to T:A | 2 (7) | 5 (20) |
| G:C to C:G | 3 (11) | 1 (4) |
| A:T to C:G | 1 (3) | 2 (8) |
| A:T to T:A | 0 (0) | 1 (4) |
The numerical designates number of base substitution and the parentheses indicate percentage. HBV(+) and HBV(−) designate hepatitis virus (HBV)-related and non-HBV-related HCC, respectively.
