16 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The bile salt export pump (BSEP, ABCB11) is essential for bile salt secretion at the canalicular membrane of liver cells. Clinical phenotypes associated with BSEP mutations are commonly categorized as benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC-2) or progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC-2). METHODS: The molecular basis of BSEP-associated liver disease in a sibling pair was...
