Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects around a quarter of the global population, paralleling worldwide increases in obesity and metabolic syndrome. NAFLD arises in the context of systemic metabolic dysfunction that concomitantly amplifies the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. These interrelated conditions have long been recognized to have a heritable component, and advances using unbiased association studies followed by functional characterization have created a paradigm for unravelling the genetic architecture of these conditions. A novel perspective is to characterize the shared genetic basis of NAFLD and other related disorders. This information on shared genetic risks and their biological overlap should in future enable the development of precision medicine approaches through better patient stratification, and enable the identification of preventive and therapeutic strategies. In this Review, we discuss current knowledge of the genetic basis of NAFLD and of possible pleiotropy between NAFLD and other liver diseases as well as other related metabolic disorders. We also discuss evidence of causality in NAFLD and other related diseases and the translational significance of such evidence, and future challenges from the study of genetic pleiotropy.

遗传对 NAFLD 的贡献:利用共享遗传学揭示系统生物学。

非酒精性脂肪性肝病 (NAFLD) 影响全球约四分之一的人口,与全球肥胖和代谢综合征的增加平行。NAFLD 是在全身代谢功能障碍的背景下出现的,这同时增加了心血管疾病和糖尿病的风险。这些相互关联的条件长期以来被认为具有可遗传的成分,并且使用无偏关联研究和功能表征的进展已经为解开这些条件的遗传结构创造了一个范式。一个新的观点是描述 NAFLD 和其他相关疾病的共同遗传基础。这些关于共享遗传风险及其生物学重叠的信息将来应该能够通过更好的患者分层来开发精准医学方法,并能够确定预防和治疗策略。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了目前关于 NAFLD 遗传基础的知识,以及 NAFLD 与其他肝病以及其他相关代谢疾病之间可能存在的多效性。我们还讨论了 NAFLD 和其他相关疾病的因果关系证据以及这些证据的转化意义,以及遗传多效性研究的未来挑战。
