Cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene ploymorphisms increase the risk of fatty liver in females independent of adisposity

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene ploymorphisms increase the risk of fatty liver in females independent of adisposity

Background and Aim: Environmental factors including excessive caloric intake lead to disordered lipid metabolism and fatty liver disease (FLD). However, FLD demonstrates heritability suggesting genetic factors are also important. We aimed to use a candidate gene approach to examine the association b...
