In contrast to these causal variants, deletion of Mboat7 resulted in hepatic TG accumulation in mice fed a normal chow diet, and Mboat7 LSKO mice had no change in circulating TGs or in rates of TG-rich lipoprotein secretion (Fig. 3), indicating that Mboat7-induced steatosis was not caused by reduced TG secretion. Here, MBOAT7 is linked to steatosis.
