About
Hanns–Ulrich Marschall is a leading hepatologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the understanding of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a serious liver disorder affecting pregnant women. His work centers on the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying bile acid transport and metabolism, with a particular focus on the role of canalicular transporters such as ABCB11. In his highly cited 2013 study (124 citations), Marschall conducted a comprehensive analysis of common genetic variation around six candidate loci for ICP, demonstrating that heterozygous mutations and susceptibility alleles like p.444A contribute significantly to disease risk. This landmark paper helped establish the polygenic nature of ICP and provided critical insights into its complex etiology. Beyond this, Marschall has made substantial contributions to understanding bile acid signaling and its implications for liver disease, with his work influencing clinical approaches to managing cholestatic conditions. His research has been instrumental in bridging genetic findings with clinical practice, offering new perspectives on how inherited variations affect pregnancy outcomes and maternal liver health.
