| Core Tip |
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is frequent and may lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Awareness about its risk factors and predictive markers of severity is important in the management of this infirmity. Self-reported ancestry may also influence NAFLD outcomes in homogeneous populations and African descendants appear to have milder disease than Caucasians. However, there are no available data that demonstrate the relationship between ancestry and NAFLD in admixed populations. This is the first study to evaluate the possible association between ancestry analyzed for genetic markers and biopsy-proven NAFLD in a homogeneous and a highly admixed population.
