Abstract

The role of enhancer variants in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) predisposition remains unknown. Here, the authors perform a genome-wide survey of HCC-susceptible enhancer variants in 11,958 individuals, identify rs73613962 within the intronic region of PRMT7 and find that PRMT7 upregulation predisposes to HCC.
