Our results indicated that high levels of Eotaxin, regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and presumably secreted(RANTES), Interleukin-2(IL-2), macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF), tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(TRAIL) and Stem cell factor(SCF) were associated with increased risks of NAFLD, while high Cutaneous T cell-attracting chemokine(CTACK) and Interleukin-16(IL-16) levels that reduced the risk of NAFLD.The proportion of genetically predicted NAFLD mediated by ferritin was 2.1%(95% CI = 1.39%−5.61%). This evidence concerns the gene CCL5 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
