Abstract excerpt
Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CN) type II is caused by a reduction in hepatic bilirubin uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferase activity. Recently, there has been progress in mutation analysis of patients with CN type II. Here, we analyzed both the coding and the promoter regions of the gene in seven Japanese patients with CN type II from five unrelated families. The mutations found in this study were...
