Molecular pathogenesis of Gilbert's syndrome: decreased TATA-binding protein binding affinity of UGT1A1 gene promoter
1 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Gilbert's syndrome is a congenital, nonhemolytic, unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. The most common genotype of Gilbert's syndrome is the homozygous polymorphism, A(TA)7TAA, in the promoter of the gene for UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), with a thymine adenine insertion in the TATA-box-like sequence, which results in a decrease in UGT1A1 activity. The mechanism responsible for this decrease...
