Abstract: Provided are compositions related to HSD17B13 variants, including nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides related to variants of HSD17B13, and cells comprising those nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides. Also provided are methods related to HSD17B13 variants. Such methods include methods for detecting the presence of the HSD17B13 rs72613567 variant in a biological sample comprising genomic DNA, for detecting the presence or levels of any one of variant HSD17B13 Transcripts C, D, E, F, G, and H, and particularly D, in a biological sample comprising mRNA or cDNA, or for detecting the presence or levels of any one of variant HSD17B13 protein Isoforms C, D, E, F, G, or H, and particularly D, in a biological sample comprising protein. Also provided are methods for determining a subject's susceptibility to developing a liver disease or of diagnosing a subject with liver disease.

Abstract: Particular embodiments may access an electronic image including a surface area and divide the electronic image into a plurality of surfaces. Particular embodiments may then determine that one or more of the surfaces include a type of graphics and determine a percentage of the surface area of the image that is occupied by the one or more surfaces determined to include the type of graphics.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing an electronic image comprising a surface area and dividing the electronic image into a plurality of surfaces. The method further includes determining that one or more of the surfaces comprise a type of graphics, and determining a percentage of the surface area of the image that is occupied by the one or more surfaces determined to comprise the type of graphics.
