Study Defines Early-Onset Cirrhosis Caused by Fatty Liver Disease

Study defines early-onset cirrhosis caused by fatty liver disease

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have published the first study to define early-onset cirrhosis caused by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition known as fatty liver disease.

High-Risk Genes, Type 2 Diabetes Linked to Younger-Onset Cirrhosis in MASLD

Researchers have identified a gene-metabolic interaction that may play a key role in the pathogenesis of early-onset cirrhosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and could help assess risk in younger adults. They report in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology that cirrhosis presents before age 50 years in around a quarter of cases and is associated with elevated genetic risk and type 2 diabetes.…
