Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent reports have suggested that genetic factors, including mutations in the coding region or promoter of uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) may increase the risk of development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, but the relationship has not been evaluated on systematic review or meta-analysis. METHODS: A meta-analysis of observational studies reporting effect estimates and 95%...
