Core Tip Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 13B (TNFRSF13B/TACI) maintains immune homeostasis through bidirectional regulation of B cell function. This case report presents a case where a TNFRSF13B mutation that may impair TACI’s negative regulatory control over B cell activity, causing B cell hyperactivation, sustained local inflammatory responses, and chronic cholangitis progressing to cirrhosis. This finding provides a novel immunogenetic perspective for understanding certain autoimmune liver diseases of unknown etiology.
