Machine learning deciphers the significance of mitochondrial regulators on the diagnosis and subtype classification in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent liver disease worldwide and lack of research on the diagnostic utility of mitochondrial regulators in NAFLD. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of NAFLD, especially oxidative stress and acidity β-oxidative overload. Thus, we aimed to identify and validate a panel of mitochondrial gene expression biomarkers for detection of NAFLD.
