Core Tip |
Despite the central role farnesoid X receptor (FXR) plays in bile acid metabolism, only a few children with cholestasis and biallelic FXR deficiency have been reported, and that only recently. Using banked DNA from patients without previous successful genetic diagnosis, we have identified a child with a homozygous mutation predicted to truncate FXR prematurely. We describe his disease course before and after liver transplantation, accompanied by immunohistochemical studies. This report adds meaningfully to the available information regarding disease course and outcomes in patients with severe FXR deficiency. It highlights biochemical findings that may be characteristic of FXR deficiency. |
