Cholestasis, Progressive Familial Intrahepatic, 1; Pfic1

Description

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis is a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive liver disorders characterized by early onset of cholestasis that progresses to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease before adulthood (Alonso et al., 1994; Whitington et al., 1994; Klomp et al., 2004). Genetic Heterogeneity of Progressive Familial Intrahepatic CholestasisPFIC is a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by defects in the transport of bile acids. See also PFIC2 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in a liver-specific ATP-binding cassette transporter gene (ABCB11 ) on chromosome 2q24; PFIC3 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the class III multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein gene (ABCB4 ) on chromosome 7q21; PFIC4 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the TJP2 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 9q12; and PFIC5 (OMIM ), caused by mutation in the NR1H4 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 12q.PFIC1 and PFIC2 are associated with mildly elevated or normal serum levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT; see {612346}), whereas PFIC3 is associated with high serum GGT levels and liver histology that shows portal inflammation and ductular proliferation in an early stage ({27,26:Maggiore et al., 1987, 1991}). PFIC4 is associated with normal or mildly increased GGT levels (Sambrotta et al., 2014). PFIC5 is associated with low to normal GGT levels.There are also several phenotypically similar liver disorders that result from congenital defects in bile acid synthesis. See CBAS1 (OMIM ).
