Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis is a genetic disorder with recurrent cholestatic jaundice due to ATP8B1 and ABCB11 gene mutations encoding for hepato-canalicular transporters. Herein, we firstly provide the evidence that a nonsense variant of ATP8B1 gene (c.1558A>T) in heterozygous form is involved in BRIC pathogenesis.
