1ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; NAFLD, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; SF, serum ferritin; FeQ, iron removed by phlebotomy to achieve iron depletion; HLA, human leukocyte antigen. Mean results are displayed as mean ± SD or mean [95% CI]. 2These are nominal values of . Bonferroni correction for 18 comparisons yielded a revised for significance of <0.0028. 3History of autoimmune condition(s) in one or more first-degree family members. 4Elevated values were defined as >40 IU/L. 5These observations represent 215 probands because phlebotomy data were incomplete in 20 probands. |
