Conclusion: This pilot study concluded that HSPD1/MMP14/ITGB1/miR-6881-5P/Lnc-SPARCL1-1:2 panel expression has potential in the diagnosis of NASH, and also differentiation between NAFLD, simple steatosis and NASH cases. This evidence concerns the gene ITGB1 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
