When we included the clinicopathological parameters and the mRNA expression of target genes that were significantly associated with VAT contents, the univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, BMI, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, smoking and alcohol status, DDX11 expression in frozen tissue, and ISUP score were significantly associated with high visceral adiposity (Table 4). Here, DDX11 is linked to familial hypercholesterolemia.
