Tricohepatoenteric syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in or . An upregulation of type 1 interferon signaling is associated with the variation. Introduction of Baricitinib as a JAK1/ 2 kinase inhibitor alongside traditional immunosuppressive agents successfully reduced the symptoms of enteritis by blocking the inflammogenic effects of type 1 interferonopathy in a case of tricohepatoenteric syndrome diagnosed in a 5-year-old boy.

Infantile cholestatic diseases can be caused by mutations in a number of genes involved in different hepatocyte molecular pathways. Whilst some of the essential pathways have a well understood function, such as bile biosynthesis and transport, the role of the others is not known. Here we report the findings of a clinical, biochemical and molecular study of a family with three patients affected with a severe infantile cholestatic disease.
