Abstract excerpt
We describe a PFIC2 patient with a good response to ursodeoxycholic acid for 9 years. We found two novel ABCB11 gene mutations in the patient, i.e. I498T and 2098delA. The correlation of the patient's genotypes with the clinical course supports the existence of a phenotypic continuum between BRIC2 and PFIC2.
