PALF cases should be screened for possible underlying genetic disorders. Genetic studies and reanalysis of whole-genome sequencing data may help identify new cases and clarify the genotype-phenotype correlation. SCYL1 deficiency should be suspected in PALF patients who develop neurological involvement after LT. Early diagnosis is vital for proper management of ALF crises in SCYL1 deficiency patients. Despite the reported favorable outcomes of ALF crises in SCYL1 deficiency, liver transplantation decision should be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
