Abstract excerpt
Obstetric cholestasis (OC) is a cholestatic disorder with a prominent genetic background including variation in diverse hepatobiliary lipid transporters, such as ABCB4 (phospholipids) and ABCB11 (bile salts). Given a marked hepatocellular dysfunction in an OC patient indicated by > 40-fold rise in alanine aminotransferase activity and minor gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase increases, we performed genotyping of...
