Abstract excerpt
Gilbert syndrome belongs to the group of the most common human metabolic disorders and is characterized by an elevated level of bilirubin in blood serum. A polymorphism of the 5´ end of the UGT1A1 gene promoter, a homozygous insertion of TA pairs (genotype UGT1A1*28/*28), results in a decrease in bilirubin glucuronidation activity and therefore leads to an increase in the level of unconjugated bilirubin...
