Vaccination proposal for patients on onasemnogene abeparvovec therapy.

The approval of disease-modifying treatment in spinal muscular atrophy made the condition less severe. The course of the disease changed, but some new concerns occurred with the different new therapies. The side effects of onasemnogene aboparvovec therapy can raise differential diagnostic challenges and necessitate immune therapy, leading to immunosuppression affecting response to vaccines.

De novo bile salt transporter antibodies as a possible cause of recurrent graft failure after liver transplantation: a novel mechanism of cholestasis.

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC-2) is caused by mutations of the bile salt export pump (BSEP [ABCB11]), an ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-transporter exclusively expressed at the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes. An absence of BSEP from the canalicular membrane causes cholestasis and leads to liver cirrhosis, which may necessitate liver transplantation in early childhood. We report on the first case of a child with PFIC-2 suffering from repeated posttransplant recurrence of progressive intrahepatic cholestasis due to autoantibodies against BSEP.
