|---|---|
| The primary outcome of the study will aid in the identification of diagnostic markers that enable early detection of NASH and the understanding of the genomic markup of NASH variations predisposing to or protecting from the disease. In addition, the study can also aid in the identification of targets for drug development for the disease.Timepoint: At Baseline | — |
