Making Sense of a PFIC-Related Diagnosis as an Adult

Did you know that PFIC Network has a Research Library where we post lay-friendly summaries of published research papers about PFIC?

It’s a great resource for patients, families, and caregivers who want to stay informed without wading through dense medical literature. Our latest addition comes from Dr. Chunyue Yin, PhD, and covers a topic that is often overlooked: genetic cholestatic liver disease in adults.

While PFIC has historically been considered a childhood condition, emerging research makes clear that PFIC-related genetic mutations can affect people of all ages — and that adults with unexplained cholestasis are frequently underdiagnosed.
