It has been proposed that hepatitis delta virus (HDV) induces hepatic carcinogenesis by distinct molecular events compared with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is commonly induced by other hepatitis viruses. This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism by identifying the key genes for HDV-HCC using bioinformatics analysis.
