Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate the association between two polymorphisms of apolipoprotein C3 (APOC3) and risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Chinese Han population. METHODS: Genotypes for rs2854116 and rs2854117 in APOC3 and the known rs738409 in patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) in 390 patients with NAFLD and 409 control subjects were determined by sequencing and polymerase...
