I am excited to have arrived in Helsinki for @espghansociety.bsky.social Annual Meeting.

I’ll be presenting some more of our biliary atresia data and recording a very exciting in-person version of the ESPGHAN podcast.

Here's a preprint of our work where we found that most genes which cause monogenic, severe liver disease also affect the onset and/or severity of liver-related traits in adults.
[Not yet peer reviewed.]
doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Genes that cause severe liver disease in children also influence risk and severity of common liver conditions in adults
Background and aims Rare, pathogenic variants in multiple genes can cause severe liver disease, requiring transplantation in childhood, but it is unclear whether common variants in the same genes conf...

Thanks! I suggest annotating the axis on the figure next time.

Important stuff, but what is the x-axis here? It’s hard to interpret the graph otherwise.

I’m at @easlnews.bsky.social Congress in Amsterdam this week and sharing some of our biliary atresia data tomorrow

I would define inflammation to encompass fibroblast activation so the two are intimately linked. Precisely what flavour of inflammation is a different question, and whether it can be detected with our standard histopathological assessment.

I remember seeing this work presented last year and it’s stunning.
Why do some patients remain healthy while others develop severe liver complications despite having the exact same genetic mutation in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency?

I’m back up in Edinburgh this week learning new spatial techniques and using some very rare paediatric samples.

All round quite exciting.

I _think_ we needed to dilute our samples a bit more

True. I feel bad about the volume of steroids some of these kids have.

I know the nephrologists have some evidence to use one-off ritux in nephrotic syndrome so I would be interested to see the effect.

(Hopefully not devastating sepsis.)

The study I want to see is a one-off dose of rituximab as induction then low dose pred + aza vs standard of care.

We give a lot more in kids. Usually 1mg/kg up to a maximum of 40mg/day at induction, then taper weekly as the enzymes improve.

I know I'm biased, but I'd say this is a particularly good one.
