We report definitive diagnosis and effective chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) treatment of two Japanese children with 3[beta]-hydroxy-[DELTA]5-C27-steroid dehydrogenase/isomerase deficiency. Findings of cholestasis with normal serum [gamma]-glutamyltransferase activity and total bile acid concentration indicated the need for definitive bile acid analysis. Large amounts of 3[beta]-hydroxy-[DELTA]5 bile acids were...
