Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies have shown that the (TA)n repeat polymorphism in the uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase 1 (UGT1A1) gene promoter is associated with hyperbilirubinemia. Several studies also indicated that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4148323:G>A at Exon 1 of UGT1A1 is associated with hyperbilirubinemia. However, it remains unclear what role the polymorphisms play in influencing serum total...
