Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) is a rare disorder caused by variants in the ABCB11 gene encoding the bile salt export pump (BSEP). We investigated the molecular defect in a PFIC2 infant and rescued the splicing defect with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). METHODS: Whole-exome sequencing (WES) revealed compound heterozygous variants in the ABCB11 gene in a PFIC2 patient....
