Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Genetic defects causing dysfunction in bile salt export pump (BSEP/ABCB11) lead to liver diseases. ABCB11 mutations alter the bile acid metabolome. We asked whether profiling plasma bile acids could reveal compensatory mechanisms and track genetic and clinical status. METHODS: We compared plasma bile acids in 17 ABCB11-mutated patients, 35 healthy controls and 12 genetically undiagnosed...
