Genetic polymorphisms of bilirubin uridine diphosphate‐glucuronosyltransferase gene in Japanese patients with Crigler–Najjar syndrome or Gilbert's syndrome as well as in healthy Japanese subjects

Abstract

Polymorphisms in the coding region of UGT1A1 were commonly observed in Japanese patients with GS and in healthy subjects. The genetic basis of hyperbilirubinemia appears to be different between the Japanese and Caucasian populations.
