However, in contrast to the report by Kozlitina et al.19, neither TM6SF2 rs58542926 (β=0.087±0.083, 95%CI −0.076 to 0.250; P=0.296) nor NCAN rs2228603 (β=0.050±0.085, 95%CI −0.116 to 0.216; P=0.554) were found to be significantly associated with degree of histologically determined steatosis in the 349-patient discovery cohort. Here, NCAN is linked to steatosis.
