Abstract
Familial hypercholanemia-2 is a condition caused by mutations in the human solute carrier family 10 member 1
(SLC10A1) gene, which results in the inability to transport conjugated bile salts from plasma to hepatocytes. This is due
to the sodium taurocholate cotransport polypeptide encoded by the gene being affected. Although the gene was first
described in 1994, there is limited knowledge on the clinical features of the disease. In the few reported cases, both clinical
and laboratory findings have varied. We reported a twelve-year-old girl was diagnosed with familial hypercholanemia-2
through a whole gene exome sequencing study. She was brought in with asymptomatic hypertransaminasemia, and
after comprehensive studies on etiology failed to detect the cause, genetic testing was done. The patient had no
clinically abnormal findings but had hypercholanemia (bile acid level 81.9 μmol/L) (fasting < 10 μmol/L, postprandial <
15 μmol/L) and hypertransaminasemia in laboratory examinations.
It is believed that the disease can present with a wide range of phenotypes, and laboratory findings may differ between
patients depending on the underlying genetic mutation or mechanisms that have not yet been identified. Therefore, it is
recommended to expand diagnostic genetic examinations in patients with hypertransaminasemia whose cause cannot
be determined

Abstract
Ailesel hiperkolanemi-2, SLC10A1 genindeki mutasyonların neden olduğu, konjuge safra tuzlarının plazmadan
hepatositlere taşınmasındaki bozukluk ile sonuçlanan bir durumdur. Bunun nedeni, etkilenen gen tarafından kodlanan sodyum taurokolat kotransport polipeptididir. Gen ilk olarak 1994 yılında tanımlanmış olmasına rağmen hastalığın klinik özelliklerine ilişkin bilgiler sınırlıdır. Bildirilen birkaç vakada da hem klinik hem de laboratuvar bulguları farklılık göstermiştir. Bu yazımızda; tüm ekzon dizi analizi çalışmasıyla; ailesel hiperkolanemi-2 tanısı alan on iki yaşında bir kız hastayı sunuyoruz. Asemptomatik hipertransaminazemi nedeniyle getirilen hastaya, etiyolojiye yönelik kapsamlı çalışmalar sonucunda nedenin belirlenememesi üzerine genetik temelli tanı testleri yapıldı. Klinik olarak asemptomatik olan hastanın, laboratuvar incelemelerinde hiperkolanemi (safra asidi düzeyi 81.9 μmol/L) (açlık < 10 μmol/L, tokluk < 15 μmol/L) ve hipertransaminazemi mevcuttu. Hastalığın çok çeşitli fenotiplerle ortaya çıkabileceği ve altta yatan genetik mutasyon veya henüz tanımlanamayan mekanizmalara bağlı olarak laboratuvar bulgularının hastalar arasında farklılık gösterebileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle nedeni belirlenemeyen hipertransaminazemili hastalarda tanısal genetik incelemelerin yaygınlaştırılması önerilmektedir.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
