Epigenetic and MicroRNA signatures as predictive biomarkers in HCV genotype 4-Induced liver cirrhosis and HCC

Key Points

• Liver cirrhosis is predicated by specific epigenetic changes and microRNA signatures, indicating a link to HCC.
• Notable biomarkers were observed, with 75% of patients exhibiting alterations related to liver cancer risk.
• Analysis included case records from patients diagnosed with hepatitis C virus genotype 4, revealing critical epigenetic patterns.
• Findings highlight a need for broader studies to validate biomarkers in diverse populations with liver disease.
