Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) is a rare cholestatic liver disease with autosomal recessive inheritance caused by mutations in the gene. The clinical presentation of PFIC3 varies significantly, displaying incomplete penetrance without clear genotype-phenotype correlations. As such, the suitability of living-related liver donation for children with advanced disease has been questioned. We report here the long-term follow-up of a patient with PFIC3 resulting in decompensated cirrhosis at 11 years who successfully underwent living donor liver transplantation from his father, who carried the same homozygous mutation.
3型进行性家族性肝内胆汁淤积症(PFIC3)是一种罕见的胆汁淤积性肝病,由该基因的突变引起,呈常染色体隐性遗传。PFIC3的临床表现差异很大,表现为外显不全,且基因型与表型之间没有明确的相关性。因此,亲属活体肝移植对晚期疾病儿童的适用性受到了质疑。我们在此报告一名PFIC3患者的长期随访情况,该患者在11岁时发展为失代偿性肝硬化,成功接受了来自其携带相同纯合突变的父亲的活体肝移植。
