In conclusion, the novel variant c.263T>C (p.I88T) in this study enriched the SLC10A1 mutation spectrum; the clinical findings lent support to the primary role of NTCP in hepatic bile acid clearance, and suggested that NTCP deficiency might be a contributing factor for the development of neonatal indirect hyperbilirubinemia. The gene discussed is SLC10A1; the disease is Hyperbilirubinemia.
