In a cohort of individuals with different degrees of adiposity (Liver cohort), liver HIBCH mRNA expression was most strongly correlated to liver fat percentage, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) score and VAT area (positive correlations), and serum adiponectin concentrations (negative correlation) (Fig. 1A). The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
