- Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCG5 and ABCG8 are sterol export pumps regulating biliary cholesterol excretion. The formation of gallstones, supersaturated with cholesterol in bile, is determined by genetic and environmental factors. The interaction of susceptible gene polymorphisms with age, sex and body mass index in gallstone disease is unclear.
