  1. ncbi PNPLA3 variants specifically confer increased risk for histologic nonalcoholic fatty liver disease but not metabolic disease
    Elizabeth K Speliotes
    Department of Gastroenterology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA
    Hepatology 52:904-12. 2010
    ..CONCLUSION: Genetic variation at PNPLA3 confers a markedly increased risk of increasingly severe histological features of NAFLD, without a strong effect on metabolic syndrome component traits...
  2. ncbi Fatty liver is associated with dyslipidemia and dysglycemia independent of visceral fat: the Framingham Heart Study
    Elizabeth K Speliotes
    Department of Gastroenterology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA
    Hepatology 51:1979-87. 2010
    ..This work begins to dissect the specific links between fat depots and metabolic disease...
  3. ncbi Intramuscular fat and associations with metabolic risk factors in the Framingham Heart Study
    Kate E Therkelsen
    Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA
    Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 33:863-70. 2013
    ..CONCLUSIONS: MA was associated with metabolic risk factors, but most of these associations were lost after adjustment for BMI or VAT. However, a unique association remained for metabolic syndrome in women and lipids in men...
  4. ncbi Common body mass index-associated variants confer risk of extreme obesity
    Chris Cotsapas
    Center for Human Genetic Research, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA 02114, USA
    Hum Mol Genet 18:3502-7. 2009
    ..Our results suggest that variants influencing BMI also contribute to severe obesity, a condition at the extreme of the phenotypic spectrum rather than a distinct condition...
