Zusammenfassung: | Background and Aims
The rs738409 variant (I148M) of the patatin‐like phospholipase domain‐containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) gene is associated with several liver malfunctions. Its impact on end‐stage liver disease has not been addressed yet.
Methods
The I148M polymorphism was genotyped in a well‐characterized cohort of 421 Caucasian patients and retrospectively analyzed from the time of enrollment at Eurotransplant.
Results
The G allele of the I148M variant was significantly overrepresented in patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD, P |
