Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is increasingly prevalent in pediatric populations, especially among children with obesity. Genetic risk variants for MASLD- particularly the 148M allele of the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene - have been linked to various clinical outcomes and have recently led to the identification of a “liver-specific” MASLD...
