PNPLA3 and liver disorder: Since the PNPLA3(I148M) polymorphism is associated with steatohepatitis and increased fibrogenesis in ASH and NASH patients, we analysed the histology as well as the expression pattern of the LD-associated proteins of the perilipin-family in liver biopsies of patients with steatotic liver disease with respect to PNPLA3 status.
