Variants relevant to clinical characteristics. (A) Number of genes mutated in HBV carriers and non-carriers. (B) Gene ontology analysis revealed that genes mutated in HBV carriers were enriched in the VEGF, integrin and insulin/IGF signaling pathways (P<0.001). (C) Number of genes mutated in patients with or without cirrhosis. (D) Signaling pathway enrichment in cirrhosis patients (P<0.01). (E) Number of genes mutated in patients with normal or abnormal bilirubin levels. (F) Signaling pathway enrichment in patients with abnormal bilirubin levels (P<0.05). HBV, hepatitis B virus; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; FGF, fibroblast growth factor; IGF, insulin-like growth factor; TGF, transforming growth factor.
