Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in ATP-transporters ATPB81, ABCB11, and ABCB4 are responsible for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) 1, 2 and 3, and recently the gene for tight junction protein-2 (TJP2) has been linked to PFIC4. AIM: As these four genes have been poorly studied in young people and adults, we investigated them in this context here. METHODS: In patients with cryptogenic cholestasis, we...
