Genetic variants in promoter region of <i>TFR2</i> is associated with the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in a Chinese Han population: a case–control study

Abstract

In this Chinese Han population, the rs4434553 polymorphism in <i>TFR2</i> may be an independent influencing factor associated with the susceptibility to NAFLD. The ageing effect on the development of NAFLD may be inhibited by SNPs rs10247962 and rs1052897.
