AGTR1 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: Yoneda et al77 performed a case–control study of 167 patients with NAFLD (61 with SS and 106 with NASH) and 435 healthy controls to investigate 12 SNPs of AGTR1. It was found that five SNPs were significantly associated with NAFLD when compared with the control group, with rs3772622 having the strongest association.
