    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. This study explored the role of rs641738 C/T located in TMC4 exon 1 (p.Gly17Glu) and 500 bases- downstream of MBOAT7 gene (TMC4/MBOAT7), in the genetic risk for developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). No evidence was found of association between rs641738 and either NAFLD (Cochran-Armitage test for trend, p = 0.529) or the disease severity (p = 0.61).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
