Besides, the HSD17B13 rs72613567:TA allelic variant can also provide protection from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) not only in entire population (TA vs T OR = 0.669, 95% CI = 0.524–0.856, P = 0.001) but also in healthy people (TA vs T OR = 0.600, 95% CI = 0.464–0.777, P = 0.000). This evidence concerns the gene HSD17B13 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
