We recently put forward arguments in favor of ABCB4 gene (adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette, subfamily B, member 4) defects as a risk factor for symptomatic cholelithiasis in adults. In this study, we characterized ABCB4 gene mutations in a series of patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis to determine the genetic basis and the clinical phenotype of ABCB4 gene mutation-associated cholelithiasis.
