Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease and is increasing
worldwide. NAFLD is a genetic-environment-metabolic-stress-related disease. Genetic factors play an
important role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. GKCR is a 68 × 10 3 which protein mainly exists in the
heptocyte, and can depress the activity of GCK by combinning to it, and then influence the glucose and lipid
metabolism. The correlation between GCKR polymorphisms and NAFLD have become a hot issue in recent
years. The previous research achivements concluded that GCKR SNP polymorphism is associated with
NAFLD, and preliminarily explored the pathogenic mechanism.
