Liver stiffness (LS) showed significant associations with AST, CAP, and FIB-4 (all p < 0.005), and a trend toward significance for ALT ( p = 0.081).
Liver stiffness (LS) showed significant associations with AST, CAP, and FIB-4 (all p < 0.005), and a trend toward significance for ALT ( p = 0.081).
Although liver stiffness, measured by transient elastography, was numerically greater in Cohort 1 (10.3 ± 11.2 kPa) than in Cohort 2 (8.3 ± 7.9 kPa), this difference did not reach statistical significance. 2.3.
MBOAT7 (rs641738), evaluated under a recessive model, was linked to higher CAP values and showed a trend toward greater fibrosis, suggesting a role in lipid remodeling and steatosis-driven fibrosis progression.
