20 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Background and Aims Carriage of rs738409:G in patatin‐like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) is associated with an increased risk for developing alcohol‐related cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, rs72613567:TA in hydroxysteroid 17‐beta dehydrogenase 13 (HSD17B13) was shown to be associated with a reduced risk for developing alcohol‐related liver disease and to attenuate the risk...
