The disease is characterized initially by hepatic lipid accumulation (nonalcoholic fatty liver; NAFL), that can often progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, as outlined in detail elsewhere in this special issue [1] . Several studies have assessed the impact of epigenetic modifications in the development and progress of NAFLD ( Figure 2 ) as well as in the association of NAFLD with other metabolic diseases by focusing on DNA methylation, histone modifications and miRNA expression profiles that can significantly affect transcriptional activity.
