Scientists hunt for hidden genes that drive fatty liver to cirrhosis
NCT ID NCT07249112
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find genetic differences that make some people with fatty liver disease develop severe liver damage or cancer. Researchers will analyze DNA from 2880 adults, including those with advanced disease and healthy controls. The goal is to create better risk tests and identify new drug targets, but this is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
