Abstract excerpt
Objectives: Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We hypothesized that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups affect the risk of NAFLD in Han Chinese patients and interact with PNPLA3 genotypes. Design: NAFLD and control patients were recruited from a tertiary care centre. The mitochondrial genome was amplified in overlapping segments and...
