PNPLA3 in end-stage liver disease: Alcohol consumption, hepatocellular carcinoma development, and transplantation-free survival

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‐charact...

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
