HBV‐TERT‐promoter integration resulted in TERT activation and with poor clinical outcome. (A) TERT mRNA expression was significantly up‐regulated in HCCs with HBV integration at TERT locus, as compared with those without HBV integration. (B) Clinicopathologic correlation of TERT HBV integrations in human HCCs. Tumors having TERT HBV integration were associated with more frequent venous invasion and had a trend of association with more advanced tumor stage and poorer overall survival. (C) Clinicopathologic correlation of TERT promoter mutations in human HCCs. (D) Clinicopathologic correlation of collective TERT genomic alterations in human HCCs. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. HPRT, hypoxanthine‐guanine phosphoribosyltransferase; NS, not significant.
