Did you know?

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a rare inherited genetic mutation that can directly cause fatty liver disease.

This discovery helps explain why some patients develop fatty liver:

-Without obesity
-Without diabetes
-Without alcohol use
-Without typical risk factors

Why this matters:
For years, fatty liver disease was often attributed to lifestyle alone. This research shows that genetics can play a primary role for some patients. It helps reduce stigma, improves understanding, and may lead to more personalized approaches to diagnosis and treatment in the future.

Fatty liver disease is more complex than we once thought.
