* Known history of fontan procedure-associated liver disease (FALD)
* Known current medical or psychiatric conditions which, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the participant unsuitable for the study or interfere with or prevent follow-up per protocol
* Current liver-unrelated end-stage organ failures (Dialysis, stage 3-4 congestive heart failure (CHF), current chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on home oxygen, current known active malignancy besides non-melanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ)

If a patient has had a history of decompensation, they must have been off any medications to treat decompensation for at least 365 days. Refer to the MOP for clarifying details on evaluating eligibility for patients with a history of prior decompensation.

* Indicates an exclusion criterion that may depend on laboratory results and other clinical assessments to be ordered during Screening after confirming the participant is otherwise eligible. If the test was performed as standard-of-care in the 90 days prior to consent, it does not need to be re-done for eligibility.
