We also identified novel loci for NAFLD disease severity, including one novel locus for NAS score near IL17RA (rs5748926, p = 3.80 × 10− 8), and another near ZFP90-CDH1 for fibrosis (rs698718, p = 2.74 × 10− 11). This evidence concerns the gene ZFP90 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
