We report two Omani brothers with intrahepatic cholestasis that resolved with supportive care. In one, cholestasis began in infancy; in the other, only at the age of 18 months. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous variant, c.379C>G (p.L127V) in ATP8B1. Those attending patients with cholestasis from the Arabian peninsula should be aware of this mutation and of the variation in its phenotypic effects.
我们报告了两名患有肝内胆汁淤积症的阿曼兄弟,他们通过支持性治疗后病情得到缓解。其中一人的胆汁淤积症始于婴儿期;另一人则在18个月大时才出现。全外显子组测序在ATP8B1基因中发现了一个新的纯合变异,即c.379C>G(p.L127V)。来自阿拉伯半岛的胆汁淤积症患者应了解这种突变及其表型效应的差异。
