[ 2 ] - Molecular Modelling and Evaluation of Hidden Information in ABCB11 Gene Mutations

Background: Cholestatic disorders are divided in the extra and intra-hepatic that created due to the severe liver diseases. ABCB11 encodes the bile salt export pump and this gene is mutated in several forms of intrahepatic cholestasis. So far, some molecular features of this gene was studies.Objective: Using a developed web server, we identified high number of rare codons in this gene, and four...

[ 3 ] - In-silico Evaluation of Rare Codons and their Positions in the Structure of ATP8b1 Gene

Background: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestases (PFIC) are a spectrum of autosomal progressive liver diseases developing to end-stage liver disease. ATP8B1 deficiency caused by mutations in ATP8B1 gene encoding a P-type ATPase leads to PFIC1. The gene for PFIC1 has been mapped on a 19-cM region of 18q21-q22, and a gene defect in ATP8B1 can cause deregulations in bile salt transporters...
