Researchers have discovered that the primary gene variant responsible for fatty liver diseases originated before humans split from Neanderthals. This particular variety may have been advantageous in adapting to cold climates, thus reaching 100% prevalence.
Ancient genomes show that the main genetic variant responsible for fatty liver diseases dates back to beyond the split from Neanderthals, where it reached 100% frequency, perhaps due to advantages in cold adaptation.
