The treatment of liver disease by the use of techniques of genomics
Author(s): Marry Libert*
The first 30 years of the Journal of Hepatology have paralleled significant advancements in our knowledge of
liver function and disease. It has been greatly influenced by genetic advancements. Early research in the 1970s
and 1980s revealed the significant links between autoimmune liver disorders and the major histocompatibility
complex. The discovery of the genes in charge of Mendelian liver illnesses was sped up during the 1990s by
advancements in genomic technologies. This has been possible over the past ten years. The discovery of new
pathophysiological mechanisms, the necessity to reclassify liver illnesses, and the emergence of novel disease
therapies have all been made possible by findings. Genetics will help with tailored medication in the near future
and enable for deeper categorization of liver illnesses. It is difficult to apply quickly evolving technology in the
clinic.. View More»
