Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are highly expressed in the liver and are involved in the metabolism of many drugs. In particular, UGT1A1 has a genetic polymorphism that causes decreased activity, leading to drug-induced ...

Recent progress and challenges in screening and characterization of UGT1A1 inhibitors
Uridine-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is an important conjugative enzyme in mammals that is responsible for the conjugation and detoxification of both endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. Strong inhibition of UGT1A1 may trigger adverse

Genetic Association of UGT1A1 Promoter Variants (c.-3279T>G and c.-3156G>A) with Neonatal Hyperbili-rubinemia in an Iranian Population [PDF]
Background: Several studies have reported that two promoter variants (c.-3279T>G and c.-3156G>A) in UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1) gene may contribute to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Characteristics and Clinical Implication of UGT1A1 Heterozygous Mutation in Tumor
Background: The literature recommends that reduced dosage of CPT-11 should be applied in patients with UGT1A1 homozygous mutations, but the impact of UGT1A1 heterozygous mutations on the adverse reactions of CPT-11 is still not fully clear.

Pharmacogenomic tests of oncology drugs at Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA)
The implementation, current status and future perspectives of the pharmacogenetics/genomics (PGx) testing program developed at Instituto Nacional de Cancer (INCA) are presented. Initial selection of drug-gene pairs for PGx testing was based on clinically-
