ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM:
Advances in molecular genetics have uncovered causative genes responsible for neonatal cholestasis. Panel-based next-generation sequencing has been used clinically in infants with neonatal cholestasis. We aimed to evaluate the clinical application of single-gene testing and next-generation sequencing and to develop a diagnostic algorithm for neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis.METHODS:
From January 2010 to July 2021, patients suspected of having neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis were tested at the Seoul National University Hospital. If there was a clinically suspected disease, single-gene testing was performed. Alternatively, if it was clinically difficult to differentiate, a neonatal cholestasis gene panel test containing 34 genes was performed.RESULTS:
Of the total 148 patients examined, 49 (33.1%) were received a confirmed genetic diagnosis, including 14 with Alagille syndrome, 14 with neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency, 7 with Dubin-Johnson syndrome, 5 with arthrogryposis-renal dysfunction-cholestasis syndrome, 5 with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type II, 1 with Rotor syndrome, 1 with Niemann-Pick disease type C, 1 with Kabuki syndrome, and 1 with Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase subunit alpha mutation. Sixteen novel pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants of neonatal cholestasis were observed in this study. Based on the clinical characteristics and laboratory findings, we developed a diagnostic algorithm for neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis by integrating single-gene testing and next-generation sequencing.CONCLUSIONS:
Alagille syndrome and neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency were the most common diseases associated with genetic neonatal cholestasis. Single-gene testing and next-generation sequencing are important and complementary tools for the diagnosis of genetic neonatal cholestasis.Palabras clave
