Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Common genetic variations in vitamin D metabolism are associated with liver stiffness. Whether these genes are implicated in hepatic steatosis remains unclear. Here we aimed to analyse the association of common vitamin D pathway gene variants with liver steatosis. METHODS: Liver steatosis was assessed non-invasively in 241 patients with chronic liver conditions by controlled attenuation parameter...
