چکیده

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis is a serious disease of the liver, known as Byler disease, characterized by hepatocellular cholestasis. Severe pruritus and high serum bile acid concentrations are the most important diagnostic criteria of this autosomal recessive inherited disease. Here, we present a five-year-old boy with lichenification and enlargement of hands and feet as a sign of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis due to severe pruritus.

Genetics and Molecular Modeling of New Mutations of Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis in a Single Italian Center

Familial intrahepatic cholestases (FICs) are a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders of childhood that disrupt bile formation and present with cholestasis of hepatocellular origin. Three distinct forms are described: FIC1 and FIC2, associated with low/normal GGT level in serum, which are caused by impaired bile salt secretion due to defects in ATP8B1 encoding the FIC1 protein and...
