Core Tip	We aimed to evaluate the micronucleus, nucleoplasmic bridges and nuclear buds in the mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Genomic instability may be a stage in the development of hepatic carcinogenesis. NASH is a major cause of so-called cryptogenic liver cirrhosis and can result in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our results support this suggestion; although none of the patients had liver cirrhosis in our study, there is high genomic instability in their mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes. Further prospective studies are needed to further clarify this topic, especially among patients with HCC, cirrhosis and NASH.
