Cloning and expression of MXR7 gene in human HCC tissue

Table 1 Expression of MXR7 mRNA in human HCC, and the paracancerous liver and normal liver tissues

Surgical specimen	n	MXR7 mRNA overexpression (%)
HCC	30	23 (76.7)
Paracancerous tissue	30	4 (13.3)a
Normal liver	12	0 (0.0)b

^aP < 0.005 (χ² = 24.31);

^bP < 0.005 (χ² = 19.32), vs groups HCC.
