چکیده
Background: Congenital liver disease refers to a group of heterogeneous diseases from a clinical genetic point of view. The most crucial features are hepatosplenomegaly and elevated liver enzymes. This study aims to identify genetic variants causing the disease in three Iranian families with congenital liver disease using molecular techniques. Methods: Patients were referred to Next Generation Genetic Polyclinic (NGGC) in Mashhad after confirmed congenital liver disease diagnosis by gastroenterologists. Following informed consent signed by participants, DNA was extracted from blood samples. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed for three probands. After the analysis of raw data, candidate variants were confirmed in the patients and their parents. Results: We have found the possible disease-causing variant as the c.۱۷۱۸G> C variant (p. Trp۵۷۳Ser) in the SMPD۱ gene in the F-۱ patient and c.۱۷۱۸G> C (p. Trp۵۷۳Ser) in the SMPD۱ gene in the F-۳ patient. Moreover, we have found the c.۳۱۷۵C> T variant (p. Arg۱۰۵۹Ter) in the NPC۱ gene in the F-۲ patient. Conclusions: In this study, disease-causing variants were identified in three probands suspected of Niemann-Pick disease. Such results show the relatively high power of molecular techniques to assist clinicians with disease management, therapeutic strategies, and preventive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
