Published in 2021 at "Journal of Viral Hepatitis"

DOI: 10.1111/jvh.13550

Abstract: Information on genetic variants associated with elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels remains limited. A genome‐wide association study was performed to identify single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with ALT levels. The ALT‐associated SNP was further evaluated… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "PLoS ONE"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0219855

Abstract: Aim Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients are at high risk of developing CF-related diabetes (CFRD). In non-CF patients, liver disease, specifically steatosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes. We… read more here.
