Meta-analysis of genome-wide association data was performed in Stage 1 across the cohorts shown. SNPs representing the best associating loci were genotyped in histology based NAFLD samples (Stage 2) from the NASH CRN matched to genome wide genotyped and imputed MIGen controls. The effects of the five NAFLD associated SNPs on NASH CRN/iCONT, metabolic phenotypes and eQTLs in liver and adipose tissue were then performed (Stage 3).
