| Core Tip |
Patients with ABCB4 mutations continue to pose an enigma for clinicians, and understanding of the varied manifestations continues to evolve. Children with biallelic mutations had a progressive disease with ascites, larger varices and decompensation. Children with monoallelic mutations fare better with significantly better liver function in follow-up; however, the risk of disease progression and decompensation remains and needs close monitoring. Protein-truncating mutations and missense mutations in highly conserved domains are associated with early disease progression. Early genetic testing and family screening may help in tailoring treatment and prognostication. |
