A gene variant of <i>PNPLA3</i>, but not of <i>APOC3</i>, is associated with histological parameters of NAFLD in an obese population

Abstract

PNPLA3 polymorphism rs738409 was associated with NASH and the severity of necroinflammatory changes independently of metabolic factors. No association between APOC3 gene variant rs2854117 and histological or metabolic parameters of NAFLD was found.
