Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have identified >100 loci associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), yet the mechanisms by which noncoding variants alter disease risk remain unclear. Here we map chromatin accessibility in human MASLD liver nuclei, revealing enrichment of risk variants within cell-type-specific regulatory elements bound by lineage-determining transcription...
