MBOAT 7: Vast number of genes are found to be associated with the pathogenesis of NAFLD progression through the human genetic association studies [34]. Membrane-bound O-acyl transferase7 (MBOAT7) is one such gene and the specific variant MBOAT7 rs641738T is associated with the progression of alcoholic liver disease, NAFLD, and hepatitis B and C [35]. This evidence concerns the gene MBOAT7 and alcoholic liver diseases.
