Copy number variation in the CES1 gene and the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver in a Chinese Han population

Abstract A recent genome-wide copy number variations (CNVs) scan identified a 16q12.2 deletion that included the carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) gene, which is important in the metabolism of fatty acids and cholesterol. We aimed to investigate whether CES1 CNVs was associated with susceptibility to non-al...
