Özet

Background and Aim: The present study aims to investigate the role of genetic variability of the PNPLA3 gene (adiponectin) in predisposition to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by comparing NAFLD patients to healthy controls and to investigate any impact of the PNPLA3 genetic variability on the natural course of the disease.
