Pediatric Genetic Cholestatic Liver Diseases: Genes and Clinical Features of Disorders of Bile Acid Synthesis

Gene 1, 2DisorderLaboratory FindingsClinical Features / Comments
AKR1D1 3CBAS2 (OMIM 235555)↑ AST/ALT; ↑ GGTPNo pruritus; HSM
AMACR 3CBAS4 (OMIM 214950)↓ serum bile acidsMotor neuropathy in adult-onset phenotype
BAAT 4Bile acid conjugation defect 1 (OMIM 619232)↑ or normal AST/ALTPossible ESLD; high carrier frequency of BAAT-related genetic cholestatic liver disease in Lancaster County Old Order Amish community 5
CYP7B1 3CBAS3 (OMIM 613812)↑ AST/ALT; ↓ or normal GGTPHSM, synthetic dysfunction
CYP27A1 6 Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis Cholestasis w/↓ or normal bile acidsNeonatal onset; neurologic findings & diarrhea
HSD3B7 3CBAS1 (OMIM 607765)↑ AST/ALT; ↓ or normal GGTP; ↓ serum bile acidsMost common defect; similar clinically to PFIC1 (see ATP8B1 deficiency in Table 1) but w/o pruritus or HSM

Adapted from Tables 1-6 in Squires & McKiernan [2018]

ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; CBAS = congenital defect in bile acid synthesis; ESLD = end-stage liver disease; GGTP = gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase; HSM = hepatosplenomegaly; PFIC = progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis
