Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an emerging epidemic with high prevalence in
Western countries. Genome‐wide association studies had reported that a variation in the …

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increasing in Western countries.
Although several clinical factors have been identified, many individuals never develop HCC …

Purpose: The correlation between patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3
(PNPLA3) rs738409 polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated by …

Background & Aims Aim of this study was to evaluate whether the PNPLA3 I148M
polymorphism, previously associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk, influences …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Several studies have reported an association between the genetic
variant rs738409 (G) in the PNPLA3 gene and the risk of cirrhosis in various liver diseases …

Background and aim: The PNPLA3 rs738409 C> G polymorphism has been found to be
strongly associated with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and with alcoholic liver disease …

Results Prevalence of genotypes CC, CG, and GG was 50.7%, 36.7%, and 12.6% among
4814 participants, whereas that of genotypes CC, CG, and GG in NAFLD was 45.3%, 38.6 …

Background & Aims Subtle inter-patient genetic variation and environmental factors combine
to determine disease progression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Carriage of …

Abstract Background and Aims: Patatin-like phospholipase domain protein 3 (PNPLA3)
polymorphisms (rs738409 C> G) are associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease …

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate any association between a single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 …
