↵a NASH was defined as an NAS [steatosis (0–3), lobular inflammation (0–3), and hepatocellular ballooning (0–2)] ≥3 plus a hepatocellular ballooning score ≥1. SS was defined as an NAS <3 or an NAS ≤3 with a ballooning score of 0.
↵b Degree of fibrosis was categorized by histologic fibrosis score (0–4; no fibrosis = 0 and fibrosis = ≥1).
↵c Number of noncarriers/heterozygous carriers/homozygous carriers. For the control group, genotype was available for 17 of 20 subjects.
