    Only a minority of heavy drinkers progress to alcohol-associated cirrhosis (ALC). The aim of this study was to identify common genetic variants that underlie risk for ALC. We analyzed data from 1,128 subjects of European ancestry with ALC and 614 heavy-drinking subjects without known liver disease from Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and three countries in Europe. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed, adjusting for principal components and clinical covariates (alcohol use, age, sex, body mass index, and diabetes). We validated our GWAS findings using UK Biobank. We then performed a meta-analysis combining data from our study, the UK Biobank, and a previously published GWAS. Our GWAS found genome-wide significant risk association of rs738409 in patatin-like

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Lifestyle

  • excessive alcohol consumption Moderate

    T allele associated with increased alcohol-related cirrhosis susceptibility

    Limit alcohol to moderate intake; discuss safe levels with healthcare provider

Screening

  • Genetic cirrhosis risk with healthcare provider Moderate

    T allele carriers may benefit from liver health monitoring due to genetic predisposition
