Anomalies
BSEP/ABCB11 germline mutations in
- progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) (MIM.601847)
-
benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (BRIC2) (MIM.605479)
- Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is characterized by intermittent episodes of cholestasis without progression to liver failure.
- The cholestatic attacks vary in severity and duration and patients are asymptomatic between episodes, both clinically and biochemically
