The impact of genetic risk on liver fibrosis in non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease as assessed by magnetic resonance elastography
11 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variants in multiple genetic loci modify the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cirrhosis but there are limited data on the quantitative impact of variant copies on liver fibrosis. AIM: To investigate the effect of PNPLA3, TM6SF2, MBOAT7, GCKR and HSD17B13 genotype on liver fibrosis assessed by magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a reproducible, accurate, continuous biomarker of...
