Abstract excerpt
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a globally prevalent disease, yet its genetic architecture remains incompletely characterized. We integrated genome-wide association study data from multiple cohorts totaling nearly 3 million individuals of European ancestry and applied cross-trait genomic modeling of hepatic fat and seven cardiometabolic traits to construct an MASLD-specific...
