Abstract excerpt
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a group of rare heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorders characterized by metabolic defects in biliary proteins involved in the formation and transfer of bile acids in the liver. The genotype-phenotype correlation is not always clear. Mutations in the ATP8B1, BSEP and MDR3 genes have been associated with PFIC1, PFIC2 and PFIC3, respectively. This study...
