Core Tip

Core Tip: Liver cancer (LIHC) is a malignant tumor that occurs in the liver and has a high mortality in cancer. Comprehensive research of expression, mutation, prognosis, and biological mechanisms of ING family genes in LIHC is still lacking. We studied the expression profile, clinical relationship, prognostic potential and immune infiltration of ING family genes in LIHC. The relationship between ING family genes expression and tumor associated immune checkpoints was investigated in LIHC. The molecular mechanism of ING1-mediated hepatocarcinogenesis was preliminarily discussed. Our results highlight the potential mechanism and clinical value of ING family genes in treatment and prognosis of LIHC.
