UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A8 is part of the UGT1 locus and is expressed exclusively in extrahepatic tissues. Analysis of UGT1A8 exon 1 sequence has identified four genotypes from a population of 69 individuals. While there are four alleles, one of the single base pair changes leads to a silent mutation at T255, while the other mutations lead to amino acid substitutions at positions 173 and 277, creating...
