Abstract excerpt
Background and Objectives: Obesity is a major nutritional problem with an increasing prevalence among children and adolescents. The uridine-diphosphate-glucuronosyl-transferase1A1 (UGT1A1) gene encodes the UDP-glucuronosyl transferase enzyme, converting the toxic form of bilirubin to a soluble, nontoxic form. There are yet to be studies on the evaluation of the UGT1A1 variant types detected by next-generation...
