BACKGROUND
The objective of the current study was to evaluate the association between the I148M variant of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) and the presence of Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) across different populations.
METHODS
This study was a meta-analysis of all
BACKGROUND
The patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 gene (PNPLA3) has been associated with liver steatosis and disease progression in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and chronic hepatitis C.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the PNPLA3 I148M polymorphisms
Steatosis is a common histopathological feature of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and has been associated with severity of liver disease. Recently, the rs738409 I148M patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) polymorphism has been demonstrated to influence steatosis susceptibility and
BACKGROUND
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) genes (rs738409) is associated with the severity of fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with fatty liver disease. However, in a small group of Italian patients, there was no significant
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the association between patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 gene (PNPLA3) rs738409 polymorphism and severity of liver disease in HIV/hepatitis C virus-coinfected patients.
METHODS
We performed a cross-sectional study of 215 patients who underwent a liver biopsy.
Only a subset of subjects with excessive alcohol consumption develops alcoholic liver disease (ALD). One of the major risk factors for ALD is the genetic variant of the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) gene. Coffee is one of the most commonly consumed beverages, and
Only 20% of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) will develop cirrhosis, and fibrosis progression remains highly unpredictable. A recent genome-wide association study identified a genetic variant in the patatin-like phospholipase-3 (PNPLA3) gene (rs738409 C>G) associated with steatosis that was
Steatosis has been reported to negatively influence the natural history of chronic hepatitis C (CHC), but controversy remains over its causal role due to the confounding effect of adiposity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. The rs738409 C>G patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3)
Transgenic potato plants expressing the gene of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) under the control of the double promoter of 35S RNA of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV 35SS) and the promoter of patatin gene of potato tubers have been obtained. Biochemical analysis of the plants was performed. The
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major health issue globally. Owing to the progress made in host genetics and HCV molecular virology, emerging data have suggested that the natural course and treatment response in patients with HCV infection are largely determined by complex host‑viral
Objective: To explore the SNP effects of patatin-like phospholipase domain which containing 3 (PNPLA3), transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) gene, environmental effects of smoking, alcohol drinking and interaction between gene-gene, gene-environment and drinking-smoking on hepatitis
OBJECTIVE
Interleukin-28B (IL28B) and patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene polymorphisms are associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance and fatty liver, respectively. We aimed to test if their polymorphisms are associated with virologic responses in Chinese chronic
OBJECTIVE
Prdevious meta-analyses assess whether or not patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) (rs738409 C > G) was associated with increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Caucasians patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis, these meta-analyses did not
OBJECTIVE
To investigate associations between patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) genotypes and fibrosis and hepatocarcinogenesis in Japanese chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.
METHODS
Two hundred and thirty-one patients with CHC were examined for PNPLA3 genotypes, liver
The association between rs738409 (C>G, I148M) with patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) gene and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was controversial in different ethnic populations. Our study aimed to explore the effect of PNPLA3 rs738409 on the risk of HCC and
