Genetic variants in PNPLA3 and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in a Han Chinese population.

Genetic variants in PNPLA3 and risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in a Han Chinese population.

We investigated the possible association between genetic variants in the Patatin like phospholipase-3 (PNPLA3) gene and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Han Chinese population. We evaluated twelve tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) of the PNPLA3 gene in a frequency matched...
