Abstract:
:A patient with sepsis and jaundice was admitted for diagnosis and treatment. Associated biochemical changes included increased C-reactive protein, conjugated bilirubin and gamma-glutamyltransferase, the duration of which was protracted. High urine coproporphyrin isomer-1 and immunostaining of liver tissue suggested Dubin-Johnson syndrome. DNA sequencing using polymerase chain reaction amplification of the ABCC2 gene revealed the patient to have a compound heterozygous variant of MRP2, a molecule involved in canalicular transport of bilirubin. There was a history of jaundice since infancy.
