ABSTRACT
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive cholestatic diseases of childhood
and represents the main indication for liver transplantation at this age; PFIC2 involves ABCB11 gene, that encodes the ATPdependent
canalicular bile salt export pump (BSEP). Benign intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) identifies a group of diseases involving
the same genes and characterized by intermittent attacks of cholestasis with no progression to liver cirrhosis. Diagnosis with standard
sequencing techniques is expensive and available only at a few tertiary centers. We report the application of next generation sequencing
(NGS) in the diagnosis of the familial intrahepatic cholestasis with a parallel sequencing of three causative genes. We
identified the molecular defects in ABCB11 gene in two different probands who developed a severe cholestatic disease of unknown
origin. In the first patient a compound heterozygosity for the novel frameshift mutation p.Ser1100GlnfsX38 and the missense variant
p.Glu135Lys was detected. In the second patient, triggered by contraceptive therapy, we identified homozygosity for a novel missense
variant p.Ala523Gly. In conclusion, these mutations seem to have a late onset and a less aggressive clinical impact, acting
as an intermediate form between BRIC and PFIC.
