In comparison to the controls, the patients with NAFLD were more likely to be male (P < 0.001) and smoker (P = 0.027) and had higher age (P < 0.001), BMI (P < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (P < 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (P < 0.001), aspartate aminotransferase (P < 0.001), alanine aminotransferase (P < 0.001), and gamma glutamyl transferase (P < 0.001). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
