Genes affected
ABCB4 (HGNC:45): (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 4) The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance as well as antigen presentation. This gene encodes a full transporter and member of the p-glycoprotein family of membrane proteins with phosphatidylcholine as its substrate. The function of this protein has not yet been determined; however, it may involve transport of phospholipids from liver hepatocytes into bile. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several products of undetermined function. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13687). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg957*) in the ABCB4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCB4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17726488, 25755532). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PMID: 9419367). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The ABCB4 c.2869C>T (p.Arg957Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant that is predicted to result in a premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg957Ter variant has been reported in two studies and is found in two probands with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, including one in a homozygous state and one in a compound heterozygous state (de Vree et al. 1998; Stalke et al. 2017). Canalicular staining for ABCB4 protein was negative in liver tissue of the homozygous proband, and Northern blot and Western blot analysis showed low level or absence of RNA and protein (de Vree et al. 1998). The homozygous proband was from a consanguineous family and no other probands with liver disease were reported in this family, except for the mother who had experienced episodes of cholestasis during pregnancy (de Vree et al. 1998). Control data are unavailable for this variant and it is not found in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium, or the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the evidence and potential impact of stop-gained variants, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic for ABCB4-related intrahepatic cholestasis. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
