Intrahepatic cholestasis in two Omani siblings associated with a novel homozygous ATP8B1 mutation, c.379C>G (p.L127V)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report two Omani brothers with intrahepatic cholestasis that resolved with supportive care. In one, cholestasis began in infancy; in the other, only at the age of 18 months. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous variant, c.379C>G (p.L127V) in ATP8B1. Those attending patients with cholestasis from the Arabian peninsula should be aware of this mutation and of the variation in its phenotypic effects.

متن کاملATP8B1 mutations in British cases with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.
BACKGROUND Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) affects approximately 0.7% of pregnancies in the UK and is associated with prematurity, fetal distress, and intrauterine death. Homozygous mutations in the ATP8B1 gene cause cholestasis with a normal serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT), and have been reported in two forms of cholestasis: progressive familial intrahepatic cholesta...
متن کاملBenign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis with a Single Heterozygote Mutation in the ATP8B1 Gene
Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by multiple recurrent episodes of severe cholestatic jaundice without obstruction of extrahepatic bile duct. We present the case of a 7-year-old boy with BRIC confirmed by mutation analysis in the ATP8B1 gene and typical clinical manifestation. Despite inheritance of BRIC, we detected...

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...
متن کاملCurrent and future therapies for inherited cholestatic liver diseases
Familial intrahepatic cholestasis (FIC) comprises a group of rare cholestatic liver diseases associated with canalicular transport defects resulting predominantly from mutations in ATP8B1, ABCB11 and ABCB4. Phenotypes range from benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC), associated with recurrent cholestatic attacks, to progressive FIC (PFIC). Patients often suffer from severe pruritus a...
