Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and IL-17 cytokine genes play a role in liver fibrosis progression among patients with MASLD. The current study aimed to investigate whether the IL17 (A7448G and G197A) and TLR4 (Asp299Gly and Thr399Ile) gene polymorphisms are associated with increased liver fibrosis stages in MASLD patients. Genotyping for the IL17F-A7488G, IL17A-G197A, TLR4-Asp299Gly, and...
