Patatin‐like phospholipase domain containing 3 variants differentially impact metabolic traits in individuals at high risk for cardiovascular events
6 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs738409 C>G in the patatin‐like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene results in an amino acid exchange from isoleucin to methionine at position I148M of PNPLA3. The expression of this loss‐of‐function mutation leads to impaired hepatocellular triglyceride hydrolysis and is associated with the development of liver steatosis, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma....
