We describe a PFIC2 patient with a good response to ursodeoxycholic acid for 9 years. We found two novel ABCB11 gene mutations in the patient, i.e. I498T and 2098delA. The correlation of the patient's genotypes with the clinical course supports the existence of a phenotypic continuum between BRIC2 and PFIC2.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy. The aim of this research was to develop a ferroptosis and cuproptosis related novel prognostic signature associated with AML.
Methods: The ferroptosis and cuproptosis related genes correlated with the prognosis of AML were identified by univariate Cox analysis.

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a rare childhood manifested disease associated with impaired bile secretion with severe pruritus yellow stool, and sometimes hepatosplenomegaly. PFIC is caused by mutations in ATP8B1, ABCB11, ABCB4, TJP2, NR1H4, SLC51A, USP53, KIF12, ZFYVE19, and MYO5B genes depending on its type. ABCB11 mutations lead to PFIC2 that encodes the bile salt export pump (BSEP).

Antituberculosis drugs induce pharmacologic cholestatic liver injury with long-term administration. Liver injury resulting from rifampicin is potentially related to the bile acid nuclear receptor Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR). To investigate this, cholestasis was induced in both wild-type (C57BL/6N) mice and FXR knockout (FXR-null) mice through administration of rifampicin (200 mg/kg) via gavage for 7 consecutive days.

Purpose Of Review: To highlight recent advances in pediatric cholestatic liver disease, including promising novel prognostic markers and new therapies.
Findings: Additional genetic variants associated with the progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) phenotype and new genetic cholangiopathies, with an emerging role of ciliopathy genes, are increasingly being identified. Genotype severity predicts outcomes in bile salt export pump (BSEP) deficiency, and post-biliary diversion serum bile acid levels significantly affect native liver survival in BSEP and progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (FIC1 deficiency) patients.
