π‘ Understanding liver disease better, especially in people who might not seem at risk

Liver disease can affect anyone, not just those who are overweight π€ A Study found that even healthy-weight people can have fat in their liver, & it might be because of their genes. Learning about these genes can help doctors figure out who's at risk & improve care for everyone.

We wouldn't be where we are today without the hard work of Friedrich Miescher (1869) and Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick (1953). Thanks to their contributions, the foundation of genetics and genomic sciences is strong.
TGen is proud to present at the 2025 @theaacr.bsky.social Annual Meeting.
Be sure to stop by the @cityofhope.bsky.social and TGen booth at the Exhibit Hall from April 27 - 30.
