Genetics study on fatty liver and cholesterol problems
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This is a research study testing whether specific gene changes are linked to fatty liver and a cholesterol pattern that raises heart risk. It may help researchers understand who is most likely to develop these conditions and why, which could guide future prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign a written consent form to join the study
- You have one specific genetic variant related to fatty liver or cholesterol (or you are a control person with none of these known variants)
- Your A1c (average blood sugar over ~3 months) is below 6.5%
- Your BMI is between 18.5 and 40 (and not over 40)
- Your kidney function is fairly good (estimated filtration rate above 60)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This study tests how “lipid” (fat) changes in the body affect insulin resistance, which is when the body doesn’t respond to insulin as well as it should. Because it’s done in healthy people, it’s mainly looking at basic biology and may help guide future treatments.
This study checks how common fatty liver disease is in people with a genetic form of high cholesterol. It may help researchers understand the link between these two conditions.
This study looks at how different ANGPTL3 gene versions may change normal body measurements (such as blood and metabolism). It may help researchers understand why these genetic differences affect health, especially related to fats (lipids) in the body.
This study collects information about metabolic and unexplained (cryptogenic) liver disease and looks at “omics” tests, which are lab tests that measure patterns in blood or tissue to learn what drives the disease. It may help researchers better understand fatty liver and related serious complications, like liver scarring and liver cancer.
This study tests how your blood fat levels respond to changes in the types of nutrients you eat (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). It may help researchers understand what dietary patterns best affect heart and metabolism-related blood measures.
