Genome-wide association studies and genetic risk assessment of liver diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic tests can help clinicians to diagnose rare monogenic liver diseases. For most common liver diseases, however, multiple gene variants that have small to moderate individual phenotypic effects contribute to the overall risk of disease. An individual's level of risk depends on interactions between environmental factors and a wide range of modifier genes, which are yet to be identified systematically. The...
