Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to measure the effect of genetic variants of these two enzymes, UGT1A1 and SLCO1B1, in the bilirubin metabolic pathway on the degree of hyperbilirubinemia in a cohort of African-American (AA) infants from our well-baby nursery. In addition, a second objective was to document the types and frequencies of genetic variations of these enzymes in our cohort. STUDY DESIGN: A...
