Abstract excerpt
Variations of the ABCB4 and ABCB11 genes affect the composition of bile and are associated with cholestasis and cholelithiasis. However, their roles in the formation of primary intrahepatic stones (PIS) remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to determine whether there is an association between PIS and variations in these genes. Exon sequencing was performed in order to analyze the ABCB4 and...
