Declarations
:
: The liver specimens for analysis were obtained according to Dutch legislation and the Code of Conduct for responsibly dealing with human-derived material in the context of one health research, as part of the TransplantLines biobank. The health research was titled by “TransplantLines Biobank and cohort study (graag ook de ref bijvoegen die ik gisteren meestuurde)” and was approved by the Medical Ethical Committee of the University Medical Center Groningen on 25 August 2014. The approval number is METc 2014/077. All procedures were performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. The use of coded-anonymous human tissue enabled to refrain the need for written consent for “further use” human material.
