We describe a new mutation in exon 4 of IKBKG , encoding nuclear factor‐kappa B in a patient with incontinentia pigmenti. The patient had a severe cholestatic liver disease with features of a ciliopathy and underwent liver transplantation. We cannot establish a link between incontinentia pigmenti, a very rare disease, and hepatic ciliopathy, but we suggest that hepatic evaluation should be considered in patients with incontinentia pigmenti.
