Actual (reported)Background: \- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common form of liver disease in the United States. It includes many conditions. Researchers want to study fatty liver disease by looking at people who have liver cirrhosis. They also want to look at people who are or were listed for liver transplants. Genetic studies may provide more information on the causes of these conditions. Objectives: \- To study possible genetic causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Eligibility: \- Individuals of any age who have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and related conditions. Design:
Registry-reported information. Elapsed time and enrollment totals alone do not measure study progress or recruitment pace.

Actual (reported)To better understand the underlying mechanisms of liver regeneration and the development of NASH.
(a) To determine the role of the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway and related genes in the predisposition to liver injury and NASH.(b) To compare gene variants (with known or suspected abnormal functional effects) with the phenotypes observed in patients (i.e. genotype- phenotype correlations) as documented in the study.(c) To verify recurrence risks /inheritance patterns for each of the candidate genes.
One point in time
Patients who have already undergone liver transplantation for a confirmed diagnosis of NAFLD or cryptogenic cirrhosis are also eligible to participate.
Patients with radiologic evidence of fatty liver and/or cirrhosis in which other causes havebeen ruled out are eligible to participate.
Although a liver biopsy is necessary to make the diagnosis of NASH, patients with radiologic evidence of fatty liver and/or cirrhosis in which other causes have been ruled out are eligible to participate. Patients who have already undergone liver transplantation for a confirmed diagnosis of NAFLD orcryptogenic cirrhosis are also eligible to participate.Direct blood relatives (typically parents and siblings) of affected individuals with NAFLD and associated conditions are also eligible to participate.
