PNPLA3 rs139051 is associated with phospholipid metabolite profile and hepatic inflammation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Figure 2 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients carrying the A/A genotype at PNPLA3 rs139051 demonstrated low-grade lobular inflammation. Box plots indicate the difference in pathologic characteristics of steatosis (A); lobular inflammation (B); ballooning (C); and fibrosis (D) between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients with the A/A or A/G + G/G genotype at PNPLA3 rs139051. Results are presented as medians and Interquartile Range. ^aP < 0.05.
