A new inborn error in bile acie synthesis, manifest in identical infant twins as severe intrahepatic cholestasis, is described involving the .DELTA.4-3-oxosteroid 5.beta.-reductase catalyzed conversion of the key intermediates, 7.alpha.-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and 7.alpha.,127a-dithydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one for chenodeoxycholic and cholic acid synthesis, to the respective 3.alpha.-hydroxy-57b(H) products. This defect was detected by fast atom bombarment ionization-mass spectrometry from an elevated excretion and predominance of taurine conjugated unsaturated hydroxy-oxo-bile acids. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry confirmed these to be 7.alpha.-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic and 7.alpha.,12.alpha.-dihydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic acids (72-92% of total). Fasting serum bile acid concentrations were > 37 .mu.mol/liter; chenodeoxycholic acid was the major bile acid, but significant amounts of allo (5.alpha.-H)-bile acids (.apprx. 30%) were present. Billiary bile acid concentrations was
