Liver Fibrosis and Steatosis in Alström Syndrome: A Genetic Model for Metabolic Syndrome

Liver Fibrosis and Steatosis in Alström Syndrome: A Genetic Model for Metabolic Syndrome

Alström syndrome (ALMS) is an ultra-rare monogenic disease characterized by insulin resistance, multi-organ fibrosis, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and hypertriglyceridemia with high and early incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We evaluated liver fibrosis quantifying...
