FibroScan-AST (FAST) score for the non-invasive identification of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with significant activity and fibrosis: a prospective derivation and global validation study.

TL;DR: The FAST score provides an efficient way to non-invasively identify patients at risk of progressive NASH for clinical trials or treatments when they become available, and thereby reduce unnecessary liver biopsy in patients unlikely to have significant disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-λ rs12979860 genotype and liver fibrosis in viral and non-viral chronic liver disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs12979860) in the intronic region of interferon-λ4 (IFNL4) is a strong predictor of fibrosis in an aetiology-independent manner and is maximal in young females, especially those with HCV genotype 3.
