The results have shown that a significant positive correlation exists between serum BMP8B levels and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (r = 0.35, p = 0.029), APRI (r = 0.25, p = 0.049), Fib-4 score (r = 0.26, p = 0.037), whereas, a significant negative correlation exists between high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and serum BMP8B levels (r = -0.36, p = 0.009) in NAFL patients. The gene discussed is BMP8B; the disease is non-alcoholic fatty liver.
