Abnormalities in , which encodes an unconventional myosin Vb, not only cause microvillus inclusion disease but also cholestatic liver disease, including benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC). However, -related cholestasis has not yet been reported in Japan. In this study, we present the case of a female patient in her thirties, who had developed jaundice, without diarrhea, in the first year after birth. The jaundice spontaneously subsided and occasionally recurred. Whole-exome sequencing identified two pathogenic variants in : a nonsense mutation (c. G1124A: p. W375X) and a missense mutation (c.C2470T: p.R824C). Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with -associated BRIC. This is the first reported case of cholestasis with a defined defect in Japan.
编码一种非传统肌球蛋白 Vb 的 异常不仅会导致微绒毛包涵体病,还会导致胆汁淤积性肝病,包括良性复发性肝内胆汁淤积症(BRIC)。然而,日本尚未报道与 相关的胆汁淤积症。在本研究中,我们报告了一例三十多岁的女性患者,她在出生后的第一年出现了无腹泻的黄疸,黄疸自行消退,偶尔会复发。全外显子组测序在 中发现了两个致病性变异:一个无意义突变(c.G1124A:p.W375X)和一个错义突变(c.C2470T:p.R824C)。因此,该患者被诊断为 相关的 BRIC。这是日本首例有明确 缺陷的胆汁淤积症病例。
