When duplicated our stepwise regression analysis among subjects with NAFLD, interestingly, the WC (β = 0.21, 95% CI 0.09–0.33, P = 0.001), log-transformed triglycerides (β = 0.11, 95% CI 0.02–0.20, P = 0.02), creatinine (β = 0.19, 95% CI 0.10–0.28, P<0.001), and ALT (β = 0.14, 95% CI 0.05–0.24, P = 0.003), and the Met196Arg variant in TNFRSF1B gene (β = 0.10, 95% CI 0.01–0.20, P = 0.027) were positively associated with logarithm of SUA concentrations (R2 = 0.148, P<0.001). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
