TM6SF2 and MBOAT7 Gene Variants in Liver Fibrosis and Cirrhosis

TM6SF2 and MBOAT7 Gene Variants in Liver Fibrosis and Cirrhosis

Previous large-scale genetic studies identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TM6SF2 and MBOAT7 genes as risk factors for alcoholic liver cirrhosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In this study, we tried to evaluate the association between TM6SF2 variant rs58542926 and MBOAT7...
