Potential diagnostic biomarker for HCC; independent prognostic marker in HCC (high expression associated with favorable survival).
hsa_circ_0076251 is significantly down-regulated in HCC tissues and decreases from CH to LC to HCC. It shows diagnostic value by ROC analysis and serves as an independent prognostic indicator, where higher expression is associated with more favorable survival in HCC patients.
