Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study explored associations of genetic variants in the fetuin B (FETUB) locus with intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content. METHODS: Four tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the FETUB locus and patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 and transmembrane 6 super family member 2 (TM6SF2) rs58542926 were genotyped in 418 obese Chinese adults in whom serum FETUB...
