The activity of uridine-diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase 1 (UGT1) may influence the concentration of serum bilirubin. Because UGT1 is too labile to be measured with classical biochemical methods, we analysed the whole UGT1A1 gene in 290 healthy Taiwanese adults by using the polymerase chain reaction method, and investigated the relationship between UGT1A1 genotypes and serum bilirubin levels. The results showed...
