Method of Determining Risk of Development and / or Severation of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and / or Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Oligonucleotide Kit for the Determination

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide determination methods for the risk of onset and/or severity of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and/or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), as well as to provide oligonucleotide kits for the determination thereof.SOLUTION: A determination method for the risk of onset and/or severity of NAFLD/NASH comprises detecting a single-nucleotide polymorphism represented by the rs number registered in National Center for Biotechnology Information SNP database, the single-nucleotide polymorphism being one or more single-nucleotide polymorphisms selected from rs1047840, rs2229629, rs35929428, rs2229207, and rs111988437, and/or one or more single-nucleotide polymorphisms in linkage disequilibrium with the single-nucleotide polymorphism.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
