Molecular characterization and structural implications of 25 new ABCB4 mutations in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3).
Eur J Hum Genet. 2007 Dec;15(12):1230-8. Epub 2007 Aug 29., [PMID:17726488]
Abstract [show]
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) is an autosomal-recessive disorder due to mutations in the ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 4 gene (ABCB4). ABCB4 is the liver-specific membrane transporter of phosphatidylcholine, a major and exclusive component of mammalian bile. The disease is characterized by early onset of cholestasis with high serum gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase activity, which progresses into cirrhosis and liver failure before adulthood. Presently, about 20 distinct ABCB4 mutations associated to PFIC3 have been described. We report the molecular characterization of 68 PFIC3 index cases enrolled in a multicenter study, which represents the largest cohort of PFIC3 patients screened for ABCB4 mutations to date. We observed 31 mutated ABCB4 alleles in 18 index cases with 29 distinct mutations, 25 of which are novel. Despite the lack of structural information on the ABCB4 protein, the elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of bacterial homolog allows the three-dimensional model of ABCB4 to be built by homology modeling and the position of the mutated amino-acids in the protein tertiary structure to be located. In a significant fraction of the cases reported in this study, the mutation should result in substantial impairment of ABCB4 floppase activity. The results of this study provide evidence of the broad allelic heterogeneity of the disease, with causative mutations spread along 14 of the 27 coding exons, but with higher prevalence on exon 17 that, as recently shown for the closely related paralogous ABCB1 gene, could contain an evolutionary marker for mammalian ABCB4 genes in the seventh transmembrane segment.

18 The two TMDs contain specific sites for substrate binding and translocation, whereas the two NBDs, which display a high degree of sequence similarity with the equivalent domain of ABC transporters, couple the energy obtained from ATP hydrolysis to substrate transport.8 The ICDs are deemed to be involved in mediating the coupling between NBD conformational changes and the reorientation of TM helices concomitant with substrate extrusion.9 The ABCB1 gene, one of the most extensively studied ABC transporters, is responsible for the human multidrug resistance phenotype that is a rapidly growing obstacle to the treatment of numerous infectious diseases, including human immunodeficiency10 and malaria.11 The properties of this transporter are also exploited in cancer pharmacological therapy where ABCB1 translocates the chemotherapeutic drugs and other molecules with a broad but defined specificity.12 A gene duplication of ABCB1 and additional mutations selected as advantageous have created in mammals the T715I G723E L724AfsX744 A737V G954S G762X T775M G126E S320F A840D OUT IN Linker region F357L L701P A364V NBD-NH2 terminal NBD-COOH terminal A1193T NH2 COOH 1 2 54 6 7 8 129 11 10 EC2EC1 ICD2 A250P Y279X A286V ICD1 R159X T175A ICD3 EC3 EC4 EC6EC5 ICD4 ICD6 ICD5 E888X Y403H V475A A511T E558K R590Q T593A M630V 3 S379KfsX413 P726T Figure 1 (a) Localization of the 29 mutations identified in this study in the ABCB4 protein, schematically represented in its domains.

Clinical features and genotype-phenotype correlations in children with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 related to ABCB4 mutations.

Abstract [show]
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to estimate the frequency of ABCB4 mutations among children with chronic intrahepatic cholestasis with elevated gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase (gamma-GT) activity and to characterize the genotypes with respect to severity of symptoms, response to ursodeoxycholic acid therapy, and outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Molecular analysis of ABCB4 in 133 Italian children was performed, and ABCB4 mutations were classified as disease-causing mutations or benign substitutions according to the prediction algorithm PolyPhen. RESULTS: : Twenty-eight patients were identified carrying 31 mutations (20 disease causing). Twenty patients carried 2 mutated alleles and 8 only 1. At presentation (1-204 months), 20 children were symptomatic with jaundice and/or pruritus, whereas in 8 biochemical cholestasis was a fortuitous finding. Cirrhosis developed in 15 and 6 progressed to terminal liver failure. Disease-causing mutations on both alleles were found to be associated with reduced liver expression of ABCB4 protein, lack of response to ursodeoxycholic acid therapy, and progression to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease, whereas mild genotypes, including single heterozygous mutations, were generally associated with less severe disease and, often, absence of symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: ABCB4 mutations are responsible for a chronic liver disease in more than one-third of patients with chronic intrahepatic cholestasis and elevated gamma-GT activity. In patients with severe ABCB4 genotype, the disease is often progressive with risk of developing cirrhosis and liver failure during the first 2 decades of life. Patients with mild genotypes, including single heterozygous mutations, have variable expressions of liver disease that may be influenced by comorbidity factors and modulated by still unknown genetic modifiers.

ABCB4 mutations in adult patients with cholestatic liver disease: impact and phenotypic expression.
J Gastroenterol. 2015 Sep 1., [PMID:26324191]
Abstract [show]
BACKGROUND: The ABCB4 gene encodes the MDR3 protein. Mutations of this gene cause progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3) in children, but their clinical relevance in adults remains ill defined. The study of a well-characterized adult patient series may contribute to refining the genetic data regarding cholangiopathies of unknown origin. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of ABCB4 mutations on clinical expression of cholestasis in adult patients. METHODS: We consecutively evaluated 2602 subjects with hepatobiliary disease. Biochemical evidence of a chronic cholestatic profile (CCP) with elevated serum gamma-glutamyltransferase activity or diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and juvenile cholelithiasis (JC) were inclusion criteria. The personal/family history of additional cholestatic liver disease (PFH-CLD), which includes ICP, JC, or hormone-induced cholestasis, was investigated. Mutation screening of ABCB4 was carried out in 90 patients with idiopathic chronic cholestasis (ICC), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), ICP, and JC. RESULTS: Eighty patients had CCP. PSC and ICC patients with PFH-CLD had earlier onset of disease than those without it (p = 0.003 and p = 0.023, respectively). The mutation frequency ranged from 50 % (ICP, JC) to 17.6 % (PBC). Among CCP patients, presence or absence of PFH-CLD was associated with ABCB4 mutations in 26.8 vs 5.1 % (p = 0.013), respectively; in the subset of ICC and PSC patients, the corresponding figures were 44.4 vs 0 % (p = 0.012) and 28.6 vs 8.7 % (p = 0.173). CONCLUSIONS: Cholangiopathies attributable to highly penetrant ABCB4 mutant alleles are identifiable in a substantial proportion of adults that generally have PFH-CLD. In PSC and ICC phenotypes, patients with MDR3 deficiency have early onset of disease.
