Exome-wide association study identifies a TM6SF2 variant that confers susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: Exome-wide association study of liver fat content and adeno-associated virus–mediated short hairpin RNA knockdown of Tm6sf2 in mice indicate that TM6 SF2 activity is required for normal VLDL secretion and that impaired TM6SF2 function causally contributes to NAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The increased risk of type 2 diabetes noted with statins is at least partially explained by HMGCR inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adiposity amplifies the genetic risk of fatty liver disease conferred by multiple loci

TL;DR: It is shown that adiposity significantly amplifies the effect of three sequence variants associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that confer susceptibility to hepatic steatosis through diverse metabolic mechanisms.
