This indicates that a specific transcriptional signature within the Gli TF network which can be termed the 'steatotic Gli-code' lead to the observed steatosis in vivo and in vitro.This signature is characterized by reduced expression of Gli1 and Gli3, while Gli2 is unchanged (or slightly increased), which can be abbreviated as Gli1/Gli2/Gli3. The gene discussed is GLI2; the disease is steatosis.
