Abstract excerpt
Indocyanine green (ICG) retention test is widely used for preoperative evaluation of liver function. OATP1B3 (gene symbol: SLCO1B3) is the major transporter for hepatic ICG uptake. We previously demonstrated that the individuals with a homozygous SLCO1B3 null allele revealed markedly impaired ICG clearance. However, the effect of heterozygosity of this variant on ICG clearance remains unknown. We compared the...
