Identification of two single base substitutions in the UGT1 gene locus which abolish bilirubin uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase activity in vitro.
1 Feb 1994
Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence indicates that mutations in the human UGT1 gene locus abolish hepatic bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity and cause the subsequent accumulation of bilirubin to toxic levels in patients with Crigler-Najjar type 1 (CN-I). Genetic and biochemical criteria are required to link CN-I with mutations in UGT1. Here we present analysis of mutations at the UGT1 locus in three individuals...
