Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We explored the role of transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) rs58542926 C/T nonsynonymous (p.Glu167Lys) variant in genetic susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and disease severity. A total of 361 individuals (135 control subjects and 226 patients with histologically proven NAFLD) were included in a sample with 97% power for the additive genetic model. A discrete trait...
