A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan has identified 17 genetic loci associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The study, which included a genome-wide association meta-analysis of imaging and diagnostic code data, found that these genetic variants implicate biological pathways related to mitochondrial function, cholesterol metabolism, and de novo lipogenesis in the development of NAFLD. The findings also suggest the existence of at least seven subtypes of NAFLD. This research provides valuable insights into the genetic basis of NAFLD and may guide the development of targeted therapeutics for the disease. [Extracted from the article]
