Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) refers to a heterogeneous group of autosomal-recessive disorders of childhood that disrupt bile formation and present with cholestasis of hepatocellular origin. The exact prevalence remains unknown, but the estimated incidence varies between 1/50,000 and 1/100,000 births. Three types of PFIC have been identified and associated with mutations ...

A locus for PFIC has recently been mapped to chromosome 18q21-q22 in the original Byler pedigree. This region harbours the locus for a related phenotype, benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC), suggesting that these traits are allelic....
متن کاملProgressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis – Clinical, Biochemical, Genetic and Histopathological Aspects
In the early 1980’s, most cases of neonatal cholestasis (often referred to as neonatal hepatitis) remained unexplained. By today, many of these diseases have been characterized in detail. Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is one of these cholestatic entities with early onset, where new techniques in genetics and molecular biology have contributed substantially to our understa...

We report a rare case of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 from India. The diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of gene mutation analysis. The child had intense pruritus refractory to conventional medical management. As liver biopsy did not reveal any cirrhosis, partial external biliary diversion was considered as an alternative to liver transplant. We performed cholecystoapp...
