Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed serum fatty acids from 400 Japanese individuals and identified four distinct fatty acid composition clusters using a technique called fuzzy c-means clustering.
- * They found that one specific cluster was notably associated with higher prevalence of MAFLD, suggesting that understanding fatty acid balance could be crucial in assessing MAFLD risks.
Purpose: The patatin-like phospholipase domain containing protein 3 () rs738409 polymorphism (c.444C>G) is the most well-known genetic risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but whether or not physical activity influences the association between the genotype and risk of NAFLD is unclear.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective longitudinal analysis was conducted among 352 Japanese subjects.
