Furthermore, more recent research has revealed the link between LECT2 and the development of multiple immunological diseases such as sepsis (22–24), atherosclerosis (13, 25–27), osteoporosis (28, 29), arthritis (30–33), diabetes (10–12, 34), atopic dermatitis (35), and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (7, 8). The gene discussed is LECT2; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
