Bilirubin metabolism and UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 variants in Asians: Pathogenic implications and therapeutic response

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
In the Asian general population, at least six single‐nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the UDP‐glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 gene have been identified: −3279T>G, −53A(TA)6TAA>A(TA)7TAA, 211G>A, 686C>A, 1091C>T, and 1456T>G.

The genetic basis of the reduced expression of bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1 in Gilbert's syndrome.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 1995
BACKGROUND People with Gilbert's syndrome have mild, chronic unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the absence of liver disease or overt hemolysis. Hepatic glucuronidating activity, essential for efficient biliary excretion of bilirubin, is reduced to about

A pharmacogenetics study of the human glucuronosyltransferase UGT1A4 [PDF]

open access: yesPharmacogenetics and Genomics, 2009
UGT1A4 is primarily expressed in the liver and exhibits catalytic activities for various drugs. Amongst the few UGT1A4 polymorphisms evaluated, studies support the alteration of UGT1A4-mediated glucuronidation by a few variations including the Pro²⁴Thr and Leu⁴⁸Val variants (referred to as UGT1A4*2 and *3).We therefore investigated genetic mechanisms ...
