Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Studies have revealed an inverse relationship between serum total bilirubin (TBIL) levels and coronary artery disease (CAD). This study investigated the genetic variants of four bilirubin metabolism genes--heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1), biliverdin reductase A (BLVRA), solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1), and uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)--in relation...
