| Core Tip |
We report a family with progressive familiar intrahepatic cholestasis type-4 (PFIC4) with a novel variant in the tight junction protein-2 gene. The five homozygous children have highly variable expression of PFIC4. Two brothers presented with cirrhosis, portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma at ages 19 and 36. Two other homozygous brothers and a sister (age 19-23) have elevated liver enzymes without cirrhosis. Furthermore, five sisters had severe and mild intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and carry the tight junction protein-2 variant in homozygous and heterozygous states, respectively. Close monitoring for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma development is warranted in PFIC4 syndrome. |
