Abstract excerpt
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is the most common cause of liver disease, and its burden on health systems worldwide continues to rise at an alarming rate. MASLD is a complex disease in which the interactions between susceptible genes and the environment influence the disease phenotype and severity. Advances in human genetics over the past few decades have provided new...
