Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), the leading cause of end-stage liver disease in developed countries, is expected to increase over the next decade. Characterized by hepatic steatosis, MAFLD is commonly studied in animal models. Here, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a patient homozygous of the protective MTARC1 gene variant rs2642438:A. This line displays a normal karyotype and typical pluripotent stem cell morphology and can differentiate into all three germ layers in vitro.
