BACKGROUND: Common variants of the max-like protein X (MLX)-interacting protein-like (MLXIPL) gene, encoding the transcription factor carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein, have been shown to be associated with plasma triglyceride levels. However, the role of these variants in steatotic liver disease (SLD) is unclear. METHODS: We used a genome-first approach to analyze a variety of metabolic phenotypes and clinical outcomes associated with a common missense variant in MLXIPL, Gln241His, in 2 large biobanks: the UK Biobank and the Penn Medicine Biobank...
