We report definitive diagnosis and effective treatment with oral cholic acid in one Italian male child affected by 3β- hydroxy-Δ5-C27-steroid dehydrogenase (3β- HSD) deficiency. He presented with failure to thrive, hepatomegaly and multiple cystic images in kidneys; no biochemical evidence of cholestasis. Large amounts of bile acid metabolites was detected in urine by fast atom bombardment ionization mass spectrometry (FAB-MS). <em>HSDH3B7</em> gene analysis identified one mutation in intron 4, at nucleotide 432, G&gt;A substitution that has never been reported before.The replacement therapy with oral cholic acid started early after the diagnosis and is still ongoing. Three years later hepatomegaly is no longer evident, liver function is normal and the child is growing regularly. In our experience, clinical features of 3β-HSD deficiency can be very poor and even cholestasis can lack at diagnosis. Early replacement therapy with cholic acid is safe and leads to clinical and biochemical control of the disease.

1. Normally fed and cholestyramine-treated rats were injected through the superior mesenteric vein with different amounts of radiolabelled glycoholic acid and the appearance of radioactivity in bile was measured. 2. In normally fed rats radioactivity appeared in bile within 30 s of injection and reached a maximum after 2 1/2 min; in the cholestyramine-treated animals the appearance of radioactivity was slower and less of the injected material was excreted into bile. 3. At 10 min after injection, livers were removed and the amounts of radioactive glycoholic acid and endogenous cholic acid conjugates in nuclei and cytosol were determined; most of the bile acid was found in the cytosol, only small amounts being found in nuclei. 4. Nuclear preparations from both normally fed and cholestyramine-fed rats were extracted with KCl (0.4 M) in an attempt to identify a putative bile acid receptor, but no such receptor was found. 5. Regulation of bile acid synthesis does not involve nuclear binding of bile acids.
