[Identification and diagnosis of three novel mutations in SLC25A13 gene of neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency].

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD, OMIM #605814) is a novel autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the gene SLC25A13 that encodes for citrin, a liver-type aspartate/glutamate carrier located in the mitochondrial inner membrane. SLC25A13 was cloned in 1999 by Kobayashi et al at Kagoshima University in Japan, and until now, most of the NICCD patients...
