    Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide deficiency (NTCPD) is caused by SLC10A1 gene mutations and presents with diverse clinical features in children.

  • 2

    The study involved 19 children, categorized into jaundice and incidental hypercholanemia groups, with significant differences in age and liver function.

  • 3

    All patients exhibited biallelic SLC10A1 variants, with the c.800C > T (p.Ser267Phe) variant being the most common among them.

  • 4

    Elevated γ-glutamyl transferase levels in patients suggest potential biliary system involvement in NTCPD pathophysiology.

  • 5

    The findings highlight the need for multi-center collaborations to better understand genotype-phenotype correlations and long-term outcomes in NTCPD.
