Zusammenfassung
ATP8B1, ABCB11, and ABCB4 encode the aminophospholipidflippase familial intrahepatic cholestasis 1 (FIC1), the bile salt export pump (BSEP), and the phospholipidfloppase multidrug resistance protein 3 (MDR3), respectively, that play central roles in bile formation. Mutations in these transporters are associated with cholestatic liver diseases of varying severity ranging from milder forms like intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) or low phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) to progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). At present, gene se…
