Study Background

Could focusing treatment on specific genetic factors improve the livers of individuals with metabolic dysfunction-related liver disease?

In this research study, we are investigating whether a personalized genetic treatment can improve the liver health of individuals diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction associated liver disease.

This is an in-person study with up to 22 study visits. During these visits, participants may be asked to fill out surveys, have blood taken, and have their height and weight measured.
