Abstract excerpt
Congenital familial non-haemolytic hyperbilirubinaemias are potentially lethal syndromes caused by genetic lesions that reduce or abolish hepatic bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity. Here we describe genetic defects that occur in the UGT1 gene complex that cause three non-haemolytic unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia syndromes. The most severe syndrome, termed Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I, is mainly...
