Contribution of red cell mass and ugt1a1 alleles in serum bilirubin levels of the portuguese population
Hepatic glucuronization of insoluble bilirubin is catalyzed by isoenzyme 1A1 of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1), which is essential for efficient biliary excretion of bilirubin. The main cause of Gilbert syndrome (GS) in all populations studied to date is a TA duplication [(TA)7 allele] in the...
