The highest correlations were found with measures related to NAFLD (e.g. r = 0.70 for HGF versus liver fat content and r = 0.71 for ERBB2 versus GGT) and there was also a pattern of several proteins correlating with measures of insulin homeostasis (e.g. r = 0.65 for IGSF3 versus insulin and r = 0.62 for ADGRG1 versus C-peptide). The gene discussed is HGF; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
