Research Abstract |
Congenital intrahepatic cholestasis includes progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) type1, 2 and 3, and Alagille Syndrome. Traditionally the definite diagnosis of the disease has been usually based on a liver biopsy. Genetic diagnosis represents a non-invasive alternative to liver biopsy. In this study, we developed novel genetic diagnosis system of three causing genes (ATP8B1, ABCB11 and ABCB4) of PFIC, and evaluated its specificity and sensitivity.
