However, we did not find significant associations between either rs2954021 near TRIB1, rs2228603 in NCAN, rs58542926 in TM6SF2, rs12137855 near LYPLAL1, or rs10883437 near CPN1 and NAFLD in Uygur population, indicating these variants may not the causal variants associated with NAFLD in Uygur. The gene discussed is TRIB1; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
