Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic testing in pediatric cholestasis can be very informative but genetic causes have not been fully characterized. METHODS: Exome sequencing and positional mapping in seven families with cholestatic liver disease and negative clinical testing for known disease genes. RESULTS: KIF12, which encodes a microtubule motor protein with a tentative role in cell polarity, was found to harbor three homozygous...
