Genome-wide association study of liver fat, iron, and extracellular fluid fraction in the UK Biobank

2021-10-26

Abstract excerpt

Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represents a non-invasive approach allowing the extraction of clinically informative phenotypes. We developed an automated pipeline to segment liver pixels from abdominal MRI images and apply published models to approximate fat fraction, extracellular fluid fraction and iron content in 40,058 MRIs from the UK Biobank. We then conducted a genome-wide association of these t...
