Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: MRI-based corrected T1 (cT1) is a non-invasive method to grade the severity of steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis. We aimed to identify genetic variants influencing liver cT1 and use genetics to understand mechanisms underlying liver fibroinflammatory disease and its link with other metabolic traits and diseases. METHODS: First, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 14,440...
