MAFLD: A Consensus-Driven Proposed Nomenclature for Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: Experts reached consensus that NAFLD does not reflect current knowledge and metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease "MAFLD" was suggested as a more appropriate overarching term and opens the door for efforts from the research community to update the nomenclature and sub-phenotype the disease in order to accelerate the translational path to new treatments.

Reading Mendelian randomisation studies: a guide, glossary, and checklist for clinicians

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide explanations of the information typically reported in Mendelian randomisation studies that can be used to assess the plausibility of these assumptions and guidance on how to interpret findings from such studies in the context of other sources of evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: causes, diagnosis, cardiometabolic consequences, and treatment strategies.

TL;DR: This Review highlights novel concepts related to diagnosis, risk prediction, and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that could contribute to the development of a multidisciplinary approach for endocrinologists and hepatologists working together in the management of NAFLD.

TL;DR: Analysis of genetic data and blood lipid measurements from over 300,000 participants in the Million Veteran Program identifies new associations for blood lipid traits and proposes novel indications for pharmaceutical inhibitors targeting PCSK9, ANGPTL4 (type 2 diabetes) and PDE3B (triglycerides and coronary disease).

Meta-Analysis: A Constantly Evolving Research Integration Tool

TL;DR: The four articles in this special section onMeta-analysis illustrate some of the complexities entailed in meta-analysis methods and contributes both to advancing this methodology and to the increasing complexities that can befuddle researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI

An integrated map of genetic variation from 1,092 human genomes

TL;DR: It is shown that evolutionary conservation and coding consequence are key determinants of the strength of purifying selection, that rare-variant load varies substantially across biological pathways, and that each individual contains hundreds of rare non-coding variants at conserved sites, such as motif-disrupting changes in transcription-factor-binding sites.

Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids

Tanya M. Teslovich, +218 more
- 05 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results identify several novel loci associated with plasma lipids that are also associated with CAD and provide the foundation to develop a broader biological understanding of lipoprotein metabolism and to identify new therapeutic opportunities for the prevention of CAD.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Gain-of-Function Mutation of JAK2 in Myeloproliferative Disorders

TL;DR: Genetic evidence and in vitro functional studies indicate that V617F gives hematopoietic precursors proliferative and survival advantages and a high proportion of patients with myeloproliferative disorders carry a dominant gain-of-function mutation of JAK2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acquired mutation of the tyrosine kinase JAK2 in human myeloproliferative disorders.

TL;DR: A single acquired mutation of JAK2 was noted in more than half of patients with a myeloproliferative disorder and its presence in all erythropoietin-independent erythroid colonies demonstrates a link with growth factor hypersensitivity, a key biological feature of these disorders.
