Genetic risk accentuates dietary effects on hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis in a population-based cohort
Steatotic liver disease (SLD), characterized by elevated liver fat content (LFC), is influenced by genetics and diet. However, whether diet has differential effect based on genetic risk is not well-characterized. We aimed to determine how genetic factors interact with diet to affect SLD in a large national biobank.
