Abstract:
Several genes that are mutated in hereditary forms of intrahepatic cholestasis have been identified or mapped, providing new insights into the process of enterohepatic bile acid circulation in health and disease and new tools with which to study this process. Murine models of several of these disorders have been generated. Unanticipated genetic heterogeneity has been identified.
