| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the genes associated to the onset and progression of Non Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis(NASH), and identified PARVB gene is strongly associated to NASH. We further clarify the role of this gene and finally showed that this gene plays an important role for the development of chirossis.
