  1. This table shows that control patients with GC genotype have a risk for developing HCC and cirrhosis by 6.33- and 5.43-folds, respectively, more than those with GG genotype while cirrhotic patients with CC and GC genotype have a risk for developing HCC by 1.17-folds more than those with GG genotype
