The significance of low High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) for aid diagnosis of ASMD in infancy was explored by reviewing 160 consecutive infants with liver manifestations, who underwent both genetic tests and lipid profile studies, between January 2020 and December 2020.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 7 patients were diagnosed as ASMD, and 10 known disease-causing variants were identified. Hepatosplenomegaly, elevated transaminases, and liver foam cells were observed in all the 7 patients at age ranging from 4 to 31\u00a0months. Low HDL-C was detected in 5 patients, cherry red spot in 4 patients, development delay in 3 patients, and interstitial lung diseases in 1 patient. Three ASMD patients developed cholestasis around 1\u00a0month of age, and bilirubin levels normalized at age ranging from 3 to 10\u00a0months. They had persistently elevated transaminases and hepatosplenomegaly, and died within 4\u00a0years of age. Among the 160 infants with liver manifestations, 125 (78.1%) had low HDL-C. Fifty-four had both low HDL-C and splenomegaly, including 48 cholestatic infants, but only 1 (1.9%, 1\/54) infant without cholestasis was diagnosed as ASMD.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>ASMD can manifest as neonatal cholestasis in the early disease course.
