Abstract excerpt
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with an increased risk of kidney disease in adults and children. However, it is uncertain whether this association is influenced by major NAFLD susceptibility genes. In a sample of 230 overweight/obese children, 105 with NAFLD (hepatic fat fraction ≥5% by magnetic resonance imaging) and 125 without NAFLD, rs738409 in PNPLA3, rs58542926 in TM6SF2, rs1260326 in...
