Paucity of interlobular bile ducts (PILBD) is a heterogeneous disorder classified into two categories, syndromic and non-syndromic bile duct paucity. Syndromic PILBD is characterized by the presence of clinical manifestations of Alagille syndrome. Non-syndromic PILBD is caused by multiple diseases, such as metabolic and genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and inflammatory and immune disorders. We evaluated a family with a dominantly inherited PILBD, who presented with cholestasis at 1-2 months of age but spontaneously improved by 1 year of age. Next-generation sequencing analysis revealed a heterozygous CACYBP/SIP p.E177Q pathogenic variant. Calcyclin-binding protein and Siah1 interacting protein (CACYBP/SIP) form a ubiquitin ligase complex and induce proteasomal degradation of non-phosphorylated beta-catenin. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a slight decrease in CACYBP and beta-catenin levels in the liver of patients in early infancy, which almost normalized by 13 months of age. The CACYBP/SIP p.E177Q pathogenic variant may form a more active or stable ubiquitin ligase complex that enhances the degradation of beta-catenin and delays the maturation of intrahepatic bile ducts. Our findings indicate that accurate regulation of the beta-catenin concentration is essential for the development of intrahepatic bile ducts and CACYBP/SIP pathogenic variant is a novel cause of PILDB.
