Liver disease is a global health burden, encompassing over 120 million cases of end-stage liver disease and accounting for over 2 million deaths annually worldwide.[1, 2] Despite notable advances in the diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis,[3] the prevalence of liver disease and its related morbidity and mortality continues to rise.[2] The contribution of different causes of liver disease to overall global disease burden can be difficult to ascertain. This is in part because the natural history of most chronic liver diseases (CLDs) coalesces into cirrhosis,[4] and frequently at this stage, different etiologies of liver disease are indistinguishable on biopsy, laboratory findings, or physical examination.[5] On the other hand, earlier stages of liver disease are often clinically silent and therefore remain undetected. Before 1965, approximately 50% of all cirrhosis cases were considered of unknown cause, designated as cryptogenic.[5] With the discoveries of hepatitis B and C viruses in 1965 and 1989, respectively, and the recognition of NAFLD and NASH as drivers of cirrhosis within the last two decades,[6, 7] cryptogenic cirrhosis diagnoses have been curtailed as our understanding of why patients develop CLD expands. In 2003, the completion of the Human Genome Project combined with major advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies led to unprecedented progress in human genomics research, which has changed the landscape of biomedical research and clinical medicine. The resultant emerging discipline of genomic medicine, defined as the utilization of a patient’s genomic information in guiding their clinical care,[8] has already led to paradigm shifts in oncology and pediatrics clinical practice. As of November 2021, there were 16,899 publications queried through PubMed with “genomic medicine” and 747 publications queried through PubMed with “genomic medicine” and either “liver” or “hepatology,” with over half these manuscripts published in the last 3 years, highlighting the exponential growth of genomic medicine as a discipline. Presently, with increasing integration of genomics into clinical care, our molecular understanding of liver disease continues to be refined, and more cases of unexplained liver disease are now being solved. Here, we review the past and the present of genetics and genomics in liver disease from gene discovery to clinical diagnosis, followed by a perspective into the future (Figure 1). We provide a case-based discussion to illustrate the unmet medical need to expand the application of genomic analysis in hepatology, the importance of training the next generation of hepatologists in this field, and the potential of human genomics to revolutionize our understanding and treatment of both rare and common forms of pediatric and adult CLD.
