We concluded that Egyptian patients having chronic hepatitis C genotype 4 with CC genotype of ABCB11 SNP 1331T > C and high plasma bile acid levels at cutoff value of 75.5 μmol/L were associated with advanced hepatic fibrosis.
A preliminary investigation on single nucleotide polymorphism rs2287622 of bile salt export pump gene in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection in Hunan, China.
Mutational analysis of ABCB4, screening for copy number variations by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, genotyping for low expression allele c.1331T>C of ABCB11 and genotyping for variation c.55G>C in ABCG8 previously associated with cholesterol gallstones in adults was performed in 35 pediatric subjects with idiopathic gallstones who fulfilled the clinical criteria for low phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis syndrome (LPAC, OMIM #600803) and in 5 young females with suspected LPAC and their families (5 probands, 15 additional family members).
