Background and AimMASLD affects 30-38% of Indian adults, yet the contribution of genetic risk variants to disease susceptibility and fibrosis progression remains poorly characterised. We investigated the association of 12 candidate SNPs with MASLD susceptibility and fibrosis severity in North Indian patients, benchmarking allele frequencies against IndiGenomes and global populations. MethodsSixty-nine MASLD patients (75.4% male; median BMI 29.8 kg/m{superscript 2}) from a tertiary care liver cl...
