Consistent with its well‐established harmful effect on NAFLD in adults, rs738409C>G in PNPLA3 was associated with a higher grade of steatosis (p = 2.8 × 10−4), lobular inflammation (p = 0.026), and fibrosis stage (p = 0.007) on multivariable ordinal regression adjusted for age and sex (Figure 2; Table S5). This evidence concerns the gene PNPLA3 and steatosis.
