Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis represents a group of disorders characterized by defective bile excretion, which causes a multitude of clinical symptoms of variable severity and usually begins in childhood. During the past few decades, a number of gene sequence variants have been shown to be associated with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, and new subtypes continue to be discovered. Sequence variants of the ubiquitin-specific peptidase 53 gene have previously been associated with a novel autosomal recessive form of cholestasis with coincident normal or low γ-glutamyl transferase, with mild phenotypes. Here, we present 2 siblings with novel homozygous sequence variants in the ubiquitin-specific peptidase 53 gene with acute-on-chronic liver failure who underwent liver transplant.
