Summary
This study looks at how certain gene regulators, called SUV420H1/2, affect fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers will analyze data from 260 people and use lab models to see if blocking these genes could reduce liver fat and damage. The goal is to find a new way to treat this common liver condition.
