Abstract
Background & aims Genetic factors may impact nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) severity. We aimed to assess the prevalence of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 protein (PNPLA3) gene rs738409 C > G polymorphism in Brazilian individuals with type 2 diabetes and to investigate its association with liver disease severity, diabetic chronic degenerative complications, and metabolic control. Methods and Results PNPLA3 genotyping was...
