Mitochondrial Mutations in Cholestatic Liver Disease with Biliary Atresia

Abstract Biliary atresia (BA) results in severe bile blockage and is caused by the absence of extrahepatic ducts. Even after successful hepatic portoenterostomy, a considerable number of patients are likely to show progressive deterioration in liver function. Recent studies show that mutations in pr...
