Potential diagnostic biomarker for HCC; ROC AUC value was 0.941.
hsa_circ_0001438 was identified from public RNA-seq data as downregulated in primary HCC tissues and was further confirmed by RT-qPCR to be lower in HCC cell lines than in normal hepatocytes. The study proposes hsa_circ_0001438 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for HCC, especially early-stage or nonviral HCC.

Circular RNAs hsa_circ_0001438 and hsa_circ_0000417 are downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in hepatocellular carcinoma.
