A sequence variation (I148M) in the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) gene has been linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and the progression of MASLD and other chronic liver diseases towards fibrosis and cancer. To elucidate the rol…
