15 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
The etiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) involves complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. A large number of observational studies have shown that hypothyroidism contributes to a high risk of NAFLD. However, the exact causality is still unknown. Due to the progress of genome-wide association study (GWAS) and the discovery of Mendelian randomization (MR), it is possible to explore...
