CMKLR1 did not correlate with steatosis grade (r = 0.146, p = 0.114) but positively correlated with inflammation (r = 0.248, p = 0.007), fibrosis (r = 0.425, p < 0.001) and NASH score (r = 0.272, p = 0.003) (Figure 2D–F and data not shown). Here, CMKLR1 is linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
