Frequency of genetic variants involved in lipid metabolism and intrahepatic fat
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2024CE1122
Dear Editor,
An alarming number of pandemics are affecting the world’s population, including viral infections, overweight/obesity, and metabolic disorders. Genetic variants may be involved in underlying mechanisms of lipid metabolism and intrahepatic fat accumulation. The minor allele frequencies (MAFs) of variants in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) gene, which unbalance the concentration of cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein B,(–) were investigated in 241 healthy Brazilians.
