Association of MTHFR and TYMS gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility to HCC in Egyptian HCV cirrhotic patients.

Identification of host genetic factors influencing the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may help to refine patients' selection to benefit from specific preventative measures and/or adapted screening policies. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the association of MTHFR c.677C > T and c.
