Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Gilbert's syndrome causes pharmacological variation in drug glucuronidation and unexpected toxicity from therapeutic agents. The two common genotypes of Gilbert's syndrome are a dinucleotide polymorphism (TA)7 in TATA-Box as well as the 211G>A mutation in the coding exon 1, particularly in Asians, of human UGT1A1 gene. In this study, we aimed to establish an effective method to detect the...
