Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) gene allele in healthy Chinese neonates, their cord bilirubin level and the subsequent hyperbilirubinemia to determine relationships among them. METHODS: Cord blood of 48 neonates was obtained to determine the exon 1 of UGT1A1 gene, total serum bilirubin, albumin, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) and...
