Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver injury. It extends from simple steatosis, which is generally progressive, to NASH which may progress to liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, liver cell failure, and sometimes even hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Patatin like phosphlipase (PNPLA3) plays a key role in a pathogenesis of NAFLD and progression from simple steatosis to NASH with fibrosis. Objectives: Study the effect of Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PNPLA3 genes on susceptibility to NAFLD and disease progression. Results: There is a definitive association between heterozygous and the non- wild homozygous polymorphisms of Rs738409 PNPLA3 and NAFLD. In NAFLD patients subgroups; the GG genotype of PNPLA3 gene was higher in NAFLD patient's subgroup than controls GG occurs in 13 patients (43.3%) and in 2 controls (10%) with P value 0.002. There were a significant difference between NAFLD patients and normal control participants regarding anthropometric measurements, liver enzymes (ALT, AST). Conclusion: There was an association between polymorphisms of the studied SNPs of Rs738409 PNPLA3 gene with the incidence of NAFLD and the severity of the disease.
