Employing a candidate gene approach, Mancina et al. identify a genetic variant of the Pleckstrin and Sec7 ___domain-containing 3 (PSD3) gene that reduces susceptibility to fatty liver disease. Functional studies in vitro and in vivo demonstrate that targeting PSD3 protects against fatty liver disease.
