Fig. 2.
Comparisons of intra-group genetic parameters among HCC (n=97), cirrhosis (n=43) and blood donors of the dataset1 (n=49). The group of chronic HCV infection from the dataset 2 (n=6) and the dataset 3 were not included due to small sample size and restrictive sampling pattern, respectively. All genetic parameters, except for dN/dS, are expressed as mean values and standard errors. The dN values from either the HCC group or the cirrhosis group of dataset 2 were significantly higher than that from dataset 1 (blood donors) (p<0.001).
