Performance of in silico tools for the evaluation of UGT1A1 missense variants [PDF]
Variations in the gene encoding uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) are particularly important because they have been associated with hyperbilirubinemia in Gilbert’s and Crigler–Najjar syndromes as well as with changes in drug ...
