  • A recent discovery links the ZFYVE19 mutation to non-syndromic cholestasis, characterized by high gamma-glutamyl transferase levels, and potentially causing neonatal and intrahepatic cholestasis.
  • A 4-year-old patient with a confirmed ZFYVE19 mutation, diagnosed at age 2, showed elevated liver enzymes but maintained normal liver function; treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid effectively reduced symptoms.
