Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Gilbert's syndrome is a benign form of a deficiency in bilirubin glucuronidation. It is associated with a homozygous polymorphism, A(TA)7TAA instead of A(TA)6TAA, in the TATA-box of the promoter region of the bilirubin UDP-glucuronyltransferase gene. In this study the correlation between this promoter region polymorphism and in vitro human liver bilirubin UDP-glucuronyltransferase enzyme activity...
