Key inclusion criteria

Participants in any of the following categories are eligible.

[Patients]
Patients who meet both 1) and 2):

1) Either:
a) Developed cholestasis or liver injury during childhood (up to 18 years of age); or
b) Developed cholestasis or liver injury after age 18 but are suspected to have a pediatric-onset liver disease based on clinical course, genetic findings, family history, or other relevant information.
2) Informed consent has been obtained from the patient or legally authorized representative.

Note: Because established diagnostic criteria are unavailable for most pediatric-onset liver diseases, eligibility will be determined by the attending physician based on laboratory, imaging, pathological, clinical, family history, genetic, and other relevant findings. Patients with cholestasis or liver injury of unknown etiology without a definitive diagnosis are also eligible.

[Relatives]
3) Siblings, parents, grandparents, or other biologically related family members of eligible patients, with informed consent from the individual or legally authorized representative.

[Controls]
4) Individuals used as controls for biological specimen analyses who:
a) are judged not to have cholestasis or liver injury; and
b) provide informed consent, or consent is obtained from a legally authorized representative.

Note: Suitability as a control will be determined by the attending physician.

Key exclusion criteria

Individuals who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:

1) For [Patients], individuals who are determined not to have a liver disease related to pediatric-onset liver disease based on their clinical course, genetic findings, family history, or other relevant information.
2) Individuals for whom informed consent to participate in the study cannot be obtained.
3) Individuals who are otherwise considered inappropriate for participation in the study at the discretion of the investigators.

Cohort of this study is patients with childhood cholestatic liver disease other than biliary atresia. This research lasts for many years, but will be reviewed and changed every five years. The patients are registered as much as possible without limiting the number of cases. In the first five years, approximately 800 cases will be registered from institutions throughout Japan with expertise in pediatric hepatology. This study evaluates survival period and its related items.
