<i>PNPLA3</i> rs738409 is associated with renal glomerular and tubular injury in NAFLD patients with persistently normal ALT levels

Abstract

Patients with NAFLD and persistently nALT, who carry the PNPLA3 rs738409 G allele, are at higher risk of early glomerular and tubular damage. We suggest PNPLA3 genotyping may help identify patients with NAFLD at higher risk of RTI.
