Overexpression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the liver induces transformation to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in animal models . Polymorphisms in the EGF gene modulate EGF levels . To evalute the effect of EGF gene single nucleotide polymorphism and assess its correlation with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in patient with chronic liver diseases
