AFP, alpha-fetoprotein; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; FTT, failure to thrive; GGT, gamma-glutamyl transferase activity; INR, international normalized ratio; IVH, intraventricular haemorrhage; NM, not measured; NA, not applicable; nl, normal; OLT, orthotopic liver transplant; PT, prothrombin time.

Patients 1 and 2 were from consanguineous parents, while patients 3 and 4 were not from consanguineous parents.

*5-day-old sample—normal range for the GGT assay for patient 4 was 25–148 U l−1.

The values obtained were not representative because of transfusions required for volume/losses and blood pressure support.
