RT - Journal Article T1 - Update on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease-Associated Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Their Involvement in Liver Steatosis, Inflammation, and Fibrosis: A Narrative Review JF - انستیتو-پاستور-ایران YR - 2022 JO - انستیتو-پاستور-ایران VO - 26 IS - 4 UR - http://ibj.pasteur.ac.ir/article-1-3647-en.html SP - 252 EP - 268 K1 - Fibrosis K1 - Inflammation K1 - Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease K1 - Polymorphism AB - Genetic factors are involved in the development, progression, and severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Polymorphisms in genes regulating liver functions may increase liver susceptibility to NAFLD. Therefore, we conducted this literature study to present recent findings on NAFLD-associated polymorphisms from published articles in PubMed from 2016 to 2021. From 69 selected research articles, 20 genes and 34 SNPs were reported to be associated with NAFLD. These mutated genes affect NAFLD by promoting liver steatosis (PNPLA3, MBOAT7, TM2SF6, PTPRD, FNDC5, IL-1B, PPARGC1A, UCP2, TCF7L2, SAMM50, IL-6, AGTR1, and NNMT), inflammation (PNPLA3, TNF-α, AGTR1, IL-17A, IL-1B, PTPRD, and GATAD2A), and fibrosis (IL-1B, PNPLA3, MBOAT7, TCF7L2, GATAD2A, IL-6, NNMT, UCP, AGTR1, and TM2SF6). The identification of these genetic factors helps to better understand the pathogenesis pathways of NAFLD. LA eng UL http://ibj.pasteur.ac.ir/article-1-3647-en.html M3 10.52547/ibj.3647 ER -
