Abstract excerpt
Manganese is an important cofactor for numerous biological processes, including defense against reactive oxygen species. A common genetic variant in the manganese transporter SLC39A8 (p.Ala391Thr) has been associated with lower blood levels of manganese and with increases in markers of liver cell damage. Whether the variant confers an increased risk of liver disease is unclear. We tested the association of this...
