title: [The MDR3 gene mutation: a rare cause of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC)].
abstract: A 47-year old man complained about persistant pain and cholestasis 12-years after a cholescystectomy. In his family, all his brothers and sisters had cholecystectomy. Genetic explorations revealed a MDR3 gene mutation. All symptoms disappeared with a treatment by ursodesoxycholic acid. MDR3 gene mutation is to be researched in all cases of familial cholestasis.
