Abstract:
Transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) is a recently discovered gene,which is located on the chromosome 19 (19p12) and encodes a protein consisting of 351 amino acids.Presently,many studies have reported that the single-nucleotide polymorphism of TM6SF2 rs58542926 and plasma lipids are closely related to the incidence and development of diseases,such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),cardiovascular disease (CVD),liver cancer,and hepatitis C.This review will summarize the research progress conducted in these areas.
