Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCV-induced hepatocarcinogenesis is a sequential process caused by viral factors and (or) chronic host inflammation status. Host genetic variation is now emerging as an additional element that contributes to one’s risk of developing HCC. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms for HCV-induced HCC will help to solve this problem.
