Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Little is known about the heritability of hepatic fibrosis, and the heritability of hepatic steatosis has not been assessed systematically in adults. We investigated the heritability of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis in a community-dwelling twin cohort. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of a cohort of well-characterized twins residing in Southern California including 60 pairs of...
