Some autosomal recessive mutations in the bile acid membrane transporters affecting hepatocytes lead to progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), a group of diseases characterized by cholestasis, pruritus, and often an eventual requirement for liver transplantation. The estimated incidence of PFIC ranges from 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 100,000 live births.

Strain Name | Strain Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
T012640 | Nr1h4-KO | Knockout | Nr1h4-KO homozygous mice show impaired liver function and elevated serum TBA level. Lipid metabolism in this model is also impaired, as indicated by reduced serum TG and increased serum cholesterol levels |
T007421 | Abcb4-KO | Knockout | Abcb4-KO homozygous mice show impaired liver function and development of liver fibrosis from 8 weeks old |
