Article Synopsis
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver issue globally, and the expression of a gene called ANGPTL8 might help predict who is more likely to develop it.
- The study analyzed 423 participants (222 healthy and 201 with NAFLD) to understand how ANGPTL8 gene variations affect lipid profiles and liver health, particularly looking at two genetic variations: rs737337 and rs2278426.
- Findings showed that certain genetic markers (like rs737337) are linked to a lower risk of liver enzyme elevation in NAFLD patients, while others (like rs2278426) indicate a higher risk, suggesting further study is needed to explore how ANGPTL
