A genome-first approach to variants in MLXIPL and their association with hepatic steatosis and plasma lipids

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Common variants of the max-like protein X (MLX)-interacting protein-like (MLXIPL) gene, encoding the transcription factor carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein, have been shown to be associated with plasma triglyceride levels. However, the role of these variants in steatotic liver disease (SLD) is unclear.
