Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 is caused by a genetic defect in the ABCB4 gene (also designated MDR3) located on chromosome 7. PFIC3 has wide variety of symptoms and usually progresses from chronic cholestasis with or without jaundice to portal hypertension and end stage liver disease. The aim of this study is to detect ABCB4 (MDR3) gene mutations as a cause of PFIC3 in infants with cholestasis.This cross sectional study was conducted at the Pediatric Hepatology Unit over a 3-year period from January 2013 till January 2016. Thirty cholestatic patients with high GGT with onset of symptoms in the first year of life were enrolled. All patients were subjected to full history and clinical examination. Laboratory tests were done in the form of complete blood count, liver function tests, alpha-1-antitrypsin level and TORCH screen when indicated. Abdominal ultrasound was done to all patients. All patients underwent liver biopsy and histopathology. Genetic sequencing was done to all patients with DNA extraction to be used for performing the PCR for ABCB4 gene study
