Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I (CN-I) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia caused by the lack of bilirubin-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (B-UGT) activity in the liver. Two B-UGTs are coded for by a gene complex (UGT1) that maps to chromosome 2q37 and that also encodes two phenol-UDP-glucuronosyltransferases. Here, we report eleven mutations (including nine...
