TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional     --low  
GPBAR1 and NR1H4 expression levels are decreased in the aging kidney and caloric restriction prevents these age-related decreases
constitutional       gain of function
bile acids evoke placental inflammation by activating GPBAR1/NFKB1 pathway in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
constitutional       gain of function
bile acids, which are elevated in the circulation and tissues during cholestasis, cause itch and analgesia by activating GPBAR1
