Genetic variation in PNPLA3 confers susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Helen Hobbs and colleagues report an association between coding variation in PNPLA3 and susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The associated alleles vary in frequency among Hispanics, African Americans and European Americans and contribute to differences in disease prevalence among the...
