Results: A significant difference was found for the following tests among children with MASLD, obesity, and healthy controls: defensin 6 (14.4 ng/mL vs. 6.13 ng/mL vs. 17.2 ng/mL, respectively), L-FABP (9168 pg/mL vs. 7954 pg/mL vs. 7620 pg/mL, respectively), and I-FABP (272 pg/mL vs. 321 pg/mL vs. 330 pg/mL, respectively). The gene discussed is FABP1; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
