Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the predominant cause of liver pathology. Current evidence highlights plasma proteins as potential therapeutic targets. However, their mechanistic roles in NAFLD remain unclear.

Aim Of The Study: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease (CLD) in both Western and Asian populations. There is wide inter-individual variability in the occurrence of NAFLD and progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) even after correcting environmental factors, and its true explanation can be provided by heritability. Two such genetic variations, the glucokinase regulator (GCKR) and membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7 (MBOAT7) genes, in NAFLD patients were studied in the Indian population.

Background: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a hepatokine that produces metabolic benefits, such as improvements of lipid profile. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic variants associated with circulating FGF21 and investigated the causal effects of FGF21 on pertinent outcomes using Mendelian randomization (MR).
Methods: We conducted a GWAS testing ∼7.

Background/aim: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic, multifactorial psychiatric condition with an enormous impact on public health and social cost. Genetic studies suggest a heritability, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed genetic polymorphisms influencing AUD development. Our study aimed to investigate known variants located in ADH1B, DRD2, FAAH, SLC39A8, GCKR, and PDYN genes (rs1229984, rs7121986, rs324420, rs13107325, rs1260326, rs2281285 respectively) in an AUD Greek cohort in order to shed more light on the genetic predisposition to AUD.
