Abstract:
Objective:To investigate clinical characteristics and ABCB11 gene mutations in probands suffering from progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2(PFIC2). Methods:The clinical data involving manifestations and laboratory examinations of 2 probands with PFIC2 admitted to Pediatric Digestive and liver Clinic in Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University during January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Target capture high-throughput sequencing, genome-wide gene copy number variation(CNV) detection and validation were performed on probands and their parental DNA.Results:The age of onset for the 2 probands ranged from 2 to 5 months, and they had hepatosplenomegaly, severe cholestasis, pruritus, and binding bilirubin/ total bilirubin (proband 1: 51.8%-77.5%, proband 2: 47.1%-66.5%). Bile acid and aminotransferase[mainly aspartate transaminase (AST)] increased, but γ-glutamyltransferase(GGT) remained normal.Compound heterozygous mutations of ABCBll gene were discovered in proband 1: single strand deletion/c.3213+ 5G>A splicing mutation, and deletion mutation were spontaneous mutation.A total of 2.256 Mb(chr2 2q24.3q31.1)was missing, whereas splicing mutation was originated from her father.Polymorphisms with Val444Ala(T1331C)and Ala1028Ala(A3084G)were proved in proband 1.Compound heterozygous mutations of ABCB11 gene were revealed in proband 2: c.1483A>G(p.R495G)/c.2594C>T(p.A865V), and both parents were heterozygous carriers.Single-strand 2.256 Mb deletion in proband 1 and 2 mutations in proband 2 were unreported new mutations worldwide. Conclusions:In clinical work, children with cholestasis, elevated bile acid and transaminase(mainly AST), but normal GGT, should be detected for PFIC genes as soon as possible.
