Abstract excerpt
The burden of chronic liver disease is rapidly increasing worldwide, driven primarily by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, metabolic and alcohol-associated liver disease (MetALD), and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Genetic predisposition contributes substantially to variability in disease onset, progression, and outcomes, and recent advances in genomic discovery have brought...
