Abstract
The present report describes CFC1 gene analysis in 10 patients with polysplenia syndrome. The heterozygous transition c.433G>A (Ala145Thr) located in exon 5 was identified in 5 patients, with a twice-higher frequency than in control patients. These results suggest that heterozygous CFC1 mutation may represent a genetic predisposition to biliary atresia splenic malformation syndrome.Entities:
