Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Mallory-Denk bodies (MDBs) are hepatocyte inclusions found in several liver diseases and consist primarily of keratins 8 and 18 (K8/K18) and ubiquitin that are cross-linked by transglutaminase-2. We hypothesized that genetic variables contribute to the extent of MDB formation, because...
