Abstract(s)
Gilbert and Crigler-Najjar syndromes are familial unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias caused by genetic lesions involving a single complex locus encoding for bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) gene. Over the last years a number of different mutations affecting this gene have been characterized. In this report is provided a summary of reported Gilbert and Crigler-Najjar syndromes associated UGT1A1 gene mutations.
