MFAP4 as a novel biomarker for predicting liver fibrosis and prognosis in infants with biliary atresia through the integration of bioinformatics with clinical data analysis
We discovered that MFAP4 is a crucial BA-associated gene, and validated its expression in BA. Furthermore, serum MFAP4 levels may serve as predictive markers for the degree of liver fibrosis and autologous liver survival after Kasai surgery.
