Jonathan Cohen, Helen Hobbs and colleagues show that adiposity significantly amplifies the effects of PNPLA3, TM6SF2, and GCKR sequence variants on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. They find that synergy between adiposity and genotype influences the full spectrum of the disease, from steatosis to hepatic inflammation and cirrhosis.
