PCSK9 and Hepatic steatosis: R values for the signals for each probe versus total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, histopathological scores for hepatic steatosis, and the mean centroid [4, 5] of expression in the probe set, which was annotated for fat synthesis-related genes (PKLR, HMGCR, PPARG, GPAM, ACLY, LDLR, ACACA, FASN, PCSK9, SREBF1, ME1, ME2, ME3, ELOVL6, SCD, and ACSL1), were also calculated.
