Abstract
We diagnosed a jaundiced pediatric patient with BRIC-1 caused by 2 novel mutations (1226delA/2210delA) in the ATP8B1 gene. Rifampicin was effective in treating cholestasis. Results of urinary bile acid analyses during rifampicin treatment in this patient, suggested that rifampicin might stimulate 1β-, 2β-, and 4β-hydroxylation of bile acids in addition to 6α-hydroxylation.
