Genetic polymorphism has been implicated as a factor for the occurrence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study attempted to assess whether polymorphisms in the leptin receptor(LEPR) gene and its combined effect with patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3(PNPLA3/adip...
