Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The mechanisms underlying the association of steatotic liver disease with cardiovascular and cancer outcomes are poorly understood. We aimed to use MRI-derived measures of liver fat and genetics to investigate causal mechanisms that link higher liver fat to various health outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a genome-wide association study on 37,358 UK Biobank participants to identify genetic...
