Although considered a rare disease, Biliary Atresia (BA) is the leading cause of neonatal cholestasis and liver transplantation in children. Little is known about the molecular mechanisms that drive BA. The purpose of this study is to collect the fluid samples, explanted liver tissue samples and dermal biopsy samples to enable investigators to perform the genetic and molecular analyses that might point to the gene(s) and cellular pathway involved in etiology of BA disease.
