Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis is an expanding group of autosomal recessive intrahepatic cholestatic disorders. Recently, next-generation sequencing allowed identifying new genes responsible for new specific disorders. Two biochemical phenotypes have been identified according to gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity. Mutations of the myosin 5B gene (MYO5B) are known to cause...
