Heritability and genetic loci of fatty liver in familial combined hyperlipidemia
14 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
VLDL overproduction, a process that is driven by an excess amount of hepatic fat, is a well-documented feature of familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). The aims of this study were to investigate whether fatty liver, measured with ultrasound and as plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, develops against a genetic background in FCHL and to identify chromosomal loci that are linked to these traits.
