Core Tip |
Previous genomic studies identified PNPLA3 I148M and TM6SF2 E167K polymorphisms as the most prominent genetic variations associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) susceptibility in general populations. However, these impacts have never been evaluated in long-term liver transplant recipients. In a collection of survivors 10 years after liver transplantation, we found that the PNPLA3 I148M, but not TM6SF2 E167K polymorphism, affected de novo NAFLD predisposition and interacted with obesity. Our results revealed that liver transplant recipients might benefit from weight control to limit the deleterious effect exerted by genetic factors. |
