Özet

The genetic defect of MYO5B is usually associated with microvillus inclusion disease (MVID). MYO5B mutations are one of the rare causes of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) with normal/low gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). In this report, we discuss the case of a nine-month-old girl with low-GGT cholestasis whose next-generation sequencing (NGS) showed a homozygous splicing variation (c.3045+3A>T) on the MYO5B (NM_001080467) gene, which was a novel mutation. We identified that this mutation had a disease-causing effect in silico analysis.
