Genetic insights into alcohol-associated liver disease: integrative transcriptome-wide analysis identifies novel susceptibility genes

BackgroundAlcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a chronic condition influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. While GWAS has identified ALD-related loci (PNPLA3, MBOAT7, TM6SF2), underlying genetic mechanisms and therapeutic targets remain unclear.MethodsThis study utilized the FinnG...
