17‐Beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 13 Is a Hepatic Retinol Dehydrogenase Associated With Histological Features of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
11 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common cause of chronic liver disease. A single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs6834314, was associated with serum liver enzymes in the general population, presumably reflecting liver fat or injury. We studied rs6834314 and its nearest gene, 17‐beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13 ( HSD17B13 ), to identify associations with histological features of NAFLD and to...
