Variation in PNPLA3 genotype with severity of liver disease (a) and variation severity of liver disease with PNPLA3 genotype (b). The distribution of PNPLA3 rs738409 genotypes was CC in 88 patients (61.1%), CG in 44 patients (30.6%), and GG in 12 patients (8.3%). For histological findings, 12 patients (8.3%) had normal liver histology, 60 patients (41.7%) had simple steatosis, and 72 patients (50%) had NASH. The prevalence of NASH was significantly different with the PNPLA3 genotypes, with analysis of the subpopulations indicating that CG patients have a higher prevalence of NASH (P < 0.05) when compared with CC patients.
