This study aimed to define the prevalence and metabolic implications of MRI-defined SVO in MASLD, evaluate its association with liver fibrosis, cardiovascular risk, and introduce a novel tier-based classification for risk stratification. In this cross-sectional study, 334 adults with MASLD underwent comprehensive phenotyping. Sarcopenia was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis, while visceral obesity was quantified via MRI-based visceral fat area (VFA ≥ 100 cm<sup>2</sup>). Liver fibrosis was evaluated using non-invasive indices and confirmed in a subset by magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). Participants were stratified into SVO and non-SVO groups, and further categorized into Red, Yellow, or Green tiers based on fibrosis stage and cardiovascular risk. SVO was present in 42.5% of MASLD patients, with higher prevalence among women and individuals with BMI ≥ 40. SVO was associated with significantly worse metabolic profiles (HOMA-IR: 6.2 ± 2.8, p < 0.001), advanced fibrosis (FIB-4: 2.3 ± 1.4, p = 0.003), and higher cardiovascular risk (ASCVD ≥ 7.5%: 65%, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, SVO independently predicted advanced fibrosis (OR = 2.5, p = 0.002). Importantly, a tier-based classification model identified a high-risk \"Red Tier\" group (100% F3-F4 fibrosis, 100% diabetes). This is the first study in a Middle Eastern MASLD cohort to combine MRI-based adiposity assessment with validated sarcopenia criteria to define SVO and demonstrate its prognostic relevance. The introduction of a tiered risk framework integrating SVO, fibrosis, and ASCVD risk represents a novel approach to personalized MASLD care and support targeted decision-making.</p>","PeriodicalId":10337,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Medicine","volume":"25 1","pages":"316"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145336739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite significant advancements in genomic profiling and targeted therapies, patient outcomes remain suboptimal due to disease complexity, resistance mechanisms, and high relapse rates. The integration of multi-omics approaches-spanning genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics-has revolutionized AML research, offering a comprehensive understanding of leukemogenesis, tumor heterogeneity, and therapeutic vulnerabilities. Recent studies leveraging high-throughput sequencing, mass spectrometry, and advanced computational tools have uncovered novel biomarkers, clonal evolution dynamics, and microenvironmental interactions that drive AML progression and resistance. For instance, single-cell multi-omics has revealed chemotherapy-resistant leukemic stem cell populations, while proteogenomic analyses have identified actionable targets such as MCL1 and metabolic dependencies like OXPHOS. Clinically, integrated omics platforms are refining risk stratification, minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring, and personalized therapy selection. However, challenges such as data integration complexity, cost barriers, and ethical considerations remain. This review highlights the transformative potential of multi-omics in AML, emphasizing recent advancements in technology, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic innovation.
