Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic and epigenetic factors are associated with the development of alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD). The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs738409 in Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein (PNPLA3) and rs58542926 in Transmembrane 6 Superfamily Member 2 (TM6SF2) are strongly associated with AALD in different global populations, Hence, we analyzed the genetic risk score...
