Abstract:
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most common liver disease during pregnancy. ICP usually occurs in late pregnancy, with main manifestations of pruritus, jaundice, and increases in serum levels of total bile acid and aminotransferases found by laboratory examination. ICP has great impact on the fetus and may lead to preterm birth, stillbirth, and deformity. ICP has complex etiologies, and studies have shown that genetic, metabolic, immunological, and hormonal factors may contribute to the onset of ICP. The genes associated with cholestasis, such as ABCB11, ABCB4, ATP8B1, and FXR, are associated with the genetic susceptibility of ICP. This article reviews the association between cholestasis-related genes and ICP.
