Title:Association between PPARGC1A polymorphisms and the occurrence of
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Version: 1Date:12 February 2008
Reviewer: Hakan Bozkaya
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting polymorpism study reporting frequent occurance of a
PPARGC1A polymorphism in NAFLD patient. Study design is satisfactory and
the study is well conducted. However, the number of the patients is too small for
a polymorphism study although p value for the polymorphism is small. This
should be stated. On the other hand study is informative and gives another clue
for the genetic tendency for the development of NAFLD.
