Genotype–Phenotype Correlations of Monoallelic PFIC Variants in Pediatric Liver Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is classically caused by biallelic pathogenic variants, yet monoallelic variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in PFIC‐associated genes are increasingly identified in children with cholestasis, creating diagnostic uncertainty.

A 7-mm Covered TIPS Reduces Hepatic Encephalopathy Without Increasing Rebleeding in Cirrhotic Patients With Small Liver: A Randomized Study. [PDF]

Liver Int
ABSTRACT Background/Aims International guidelines recommend initiating transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement with an 8‐mm stent. However, there is an evident lack of randomized controlled trials evaluating TIPS diameters < 8 mm in cirrhotic patients with a relatively small liver. The aim of this study was to determine whether 7
