Same to in the male patients and female patients, there were also no significant correlation between circulating UGT1A1 and TB with liver fat fraction (ρ = 0.145, P = 0.158; ρ = 0.099, P = 0.341; ρ = − 0.049, P = 0.683; ρ = 0.166, P = 0.167, respectively) (Table 6). Here, UGT1A1 is linked to tuberculosis.
