AbstractBackgroundProgressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) is an uncommon cholestatic liver disease caused by mutations in the ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4 (ABCB4) gene. Although PFIC3 is frequently identified in childhood, ABCB4 disease-causing alleles have been described in adults affected by intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, hormone-induced cholestasis, low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis syndrome or juvenile cholelithiasis, cholangiocarcinoma and in sporadic forms of primary biliary cirrhosis. Cholestanol is a biomarker which is elevated especially in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and rarely in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and Niemann Pick type C.Case presentationHere we report a Turkish patient with compound heterozygous mutations in the ABCB4 gene, who has hepatosplenomegaly, low level of high-density lipoprotein, cholestasis and high level of cholestanol.ConclusionThis is the first PFIC3 case with a high cholestanol level described in the literature. There are very few diseases linked to increased cholestanol levels, two of which are CTX and PBC. From this case, we can conclude that a high cholestanol level might be another indicator of PFIC type 3.

AbstractProgressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders of childhood which presents with intermittent or progressive episodes of cholestasis, with jaundice and pruritus as most common presenting symptoms. PFIC type 3 occurs due to mutations in the ABCB4 gene, mutation in this gene has wide spectrum of features which include intrahepatic stones, cholelithiasis, PFIC type 3, and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Here, we are reporting a peculiar case of young male adolescent with novel variant compound heterozygote missense mutation in ABCB4 gene who had gall stone as initial symptom, followed by symptoms of PFIC and eventually decompensated chronic liver disease.

Right Atrial Aneurysm

Right atrial aneurysms were first described in 1955, and subsequently, only a few cases have been reported. The etiology of this condition is unknown. Its comorbidity with cholestasis has not previously been reported in the literature. An 11-month-old baby female, who was an offspring from a first-cousin marriage, was referred to our hospital for investigation of jaundice. She underwent echocardiography because of a heart murmur, and this revealed a giant right atrial aneurysm. In addition, her liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) type 3. Although both conditions are rare, we found their comorbidity interesting and are thus reporting the case.
