Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy with Combined Heterozygous ATP8B1/ABCB4 Mutation Leading to Progressive Cholestasis and Liver Failure
Myotonic dystrophy (MyoD) is an inherited genetic disorder caused by the expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat in the dystrophia myotonica protein kinase gene. It manifests as a multisystem disease affecting not only skeletal muscles, but also heart, lung, eye, gastrointestinal tract, central nerv...

Sumario: | Myotonic dystrophy (MyoD) is an inherited genetic disorder caused by the expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat in the dystrophia myotonica protein kinase gene. It manifests as a multisystem disease affecting not only skeletal muscles, but also heart, lung, eye, gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, and endocrine system. However, MyoD is rarely associated with a progressive liver disorder. We report a case of congenital MyoD with combined heterozygous ATP8B1/ABCB4 mutation who developed chronic, progressive low gamma-glutamyltransferase cholestatic liver disease at early infancy, and eventually underwent successful liver transplantation. |
