Abstract excerpt
Mutations at the bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (transferase) gene in a severely hyperbilirubinemic Crigler-Najjar (CN) type I individual was compared with that in a moderately hyperbilirubinemic CN II individual. The CN-I (CF) patient in this study sustained a TATA box insertional mutatio...
