“…The raised alkaline phosphatase and mildly raised transaminase levels could have a similar explanation although the normal ranges for these values in Chinese newborn infants are not known. On the other hand, some increase in the levels of alkaline phosphatase and transaminases have been reported in other cases of DJS (John and Knudtson, 1956;Dubin, 1958;Shani et al, 1970). None the less, the results of the BSP tests in the proband and his two male siblings are characteristic of DJS, in particular the secondary rise in BSP concentration at 120 min (Mandema et al, 1960;Arias, 1961;Shani et al, 1970).…”
