Whole exome sequencing reveals a wide spectrum of ciliary gene mutations in nonsyndromic biliary atresia
2020-05-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common obstructive cholangiopathy in neonates, often progressing to end-stage cirrhosis. BA pathogenesis is believed to be multifactorial, but the genetic contribution remains poorly defined. We conducted exome sequencing on 89 nonsyndromic BA trios. In 31.5% of the patients, rare and deleterious de novo , homozygous recessive and/or compound heterozygous variants...
