Nevertheless, our results for the association between CG/GG in PNPLA3 and presence of steatohepatitis and fibrosis in the general population are well documented (Krawczyk et al., 2017; Mazo et al., 2019; Paternostro et al., 2021) and the main interest of our study was that we explored whether findings previously reported in other populations can also be found in populations coinfected by HIV without coinfection by HCV. Here, PNPLA3 is linked to fibrosis.
