Özet

Objective: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a liver disorder of pregnancy characterized by pruritus, elevated liver enzymes and fasting serum bile acids. Genetic predisposition has been suggested to play a role in its etiology and mutations in the ATP8B1(OMIM *602397) (FIC1), ABCB11(OMIM *603201) (BSEP), and ABCB4(OMIM *171060) (MDR3) genes have been implicated. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the possible role of ATP8B1, ABCB11, and ABCB4 gene mutations in the patients with ICP.
