association between angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene A1166C polymorphism and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its severity

ABSTRACT

Background: Genetic predisposition may have important role in pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD]. Angiotensin II type I receptor [AGTR1] has been known to involve in the process of liver steatosis and fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between AGTR1 A1166C polymorphism and NAFLD
