Genetic aspects of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development

Progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is conditioned by genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, lifestyle and features of the metabolic syndrome, many of which overlap with hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the multifactorial nature of NAFLD and the limited number of suffi...

Description
Summary:Progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is conditioned by genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, lifestyle and features of the metabolic syndrome, many of which overlap with hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the multifactorial nature of NAFLD and the limited number of sufficiently powerful studies are among the current limitations for validated biomarkers of clinical utility. Further studies incorporating the links between circadian regulation and hepatic metabolism may represent an additional direction in the search for predictive biomarkers of liver disease progression and treatment outcomes.
