Clinical characteristics and ABCC2 genotype in Dubin-Johnson syndrome: A case report and review of the literature

Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) is a benign autosomal recessive liver disease involving mutations of the ABCC2 gene. It is characterized by chronic or intermittent conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, with chronic idiopathic jaundice as the main clinical manifestation. Genetic alterations of the ABCC2 gene are commonly used for diagnosing DJS; however, the causative ABCC2 point mutation in Chinese patients remains unknown. Research on ABCC2 mutations in Chinese DJS patients is extremely rare, and the diagnosis of DJS remains limited. The routine analysis of ABCC2 mutations is helpful for the diagnosis of DJS. Here, we report the clinical characteristics and ABCC2 genotype of an adult female DJS patient. This article is to expound the discovery of more potentially pathogenic ABCC2 variants will that contribute to DJS identification.
