Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is affected by epigenetic factors as well as by genetic variation. METHODS: We performed targeted-bisulfite sequencing to determine the levels of DNA methylation of 4 CpG islands (CpG99, CpG71, CpG26, and CpG101) in the regulatory regions of PNPLA3, SAMM50, PARVB variant 1, and PARVB variant 2, respectively. We compared the levels of...
