Disease relevance of Gilbert Disease

 

High impact information on Gilbert Disease

  • Genetic deficiencies in bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (GT) occur in >5% of the population (Gilbert's disease, Crigler-Najjar syndromes), and this could predispose such people to the toxic effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other environmental chemicals that are eliminated substantially by glucuronidation [6].
  • Analysis of his DNA revealed only heterozygosity for the c.187 C-->G (H63D) mutation of HFE, but showed that he was homozygous for the UDP glucuronosyltransferase promoter mutation of Gilbert's disease and that he had a previously undescribed mutation of G6PD, c.832 T-->C (Ser278Pro) [7].
  • DNA analysis showed him to have the A-(202A,376G) variant and, as well, the UGT1A1 promoter repeat polymorphism associated with Gilbert's disease [8].
