Core Tip	We conducted the current systematic review and meta-analysis to address the association between MBOAT7 rs641738 SNP and HCC susceptibility. We demonstrated the correlation between MBOAT7 rs641738 SNP and HCC susceptibility both in the dominant and recessive models, and subgroup analysis revealed the significant association especially in Asia populations, which could guide clinical practice in the identification of at-risk population.
