Core Tip A study by Qin et al showed significant upregulation of zinc finger protein 71 (ZNF71) in hepatocellular carcinoma and its association with disease progression. While their findings are valuable, limitations include the need for diverse patient cohorts, larger non-cancerous tissue samples, and functional validation through in vitro and in vivo studies. Statistical improvements, multivariate regression, and multiple comparison corrections are essential. Future research should integrate genomic, epigenomic, and tumor microenvironment data while comparing ZNF71 with established biomarkers like alpha-fetoprotein. Addressing these gaps will strengthen ZNF71’s potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic target in hepatocellular carcinoma.
