"Most patients with agenesis of the gallbladder are asymptomatic, although some patients may present with signs and symptoms of gallbladder disease, and an ultrasound may suggest findings consistent with chronic cholecystitis (shrunken gallbladder). Jaundice may be present, with a dilated common bile duct. There is a high incidence of choledocholithiasis."
"The exact aetiology is unknown; however, it is thought to result from either the failure of the cystic bud to form or a lack of vacuolation. Several cases of familial gallbladder agenesis have also been reported, suggesting a hereditary basis of the anomaly."
