Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Some single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). As one of the genetic factors, PNPLA3 rs738409 (I148M) is important to associate with pathogenesis of NAFLD. Because other SNPs remain unclear in Japan, we performed a high-throughput sequencing that targeted more than 1000 genes to identify a novel genetic variant in...
