The treatment of crigler-najjar syndrome by blue light as explained by resonant recognition model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conclusion: However, the blue light treatment is less effective with ageing, due to decrease of the blue lightpenetration through skin. Thus, there is a need for alternative treatments. Here, we propose to design de-novopeptide, using this specific RRM frequency. Such peptide, according to RRM, is proposed to have the samebiological function as UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1-A1 and thus can be used for alternative treatment of Crigler-Najjar syndrome.

Inheritance of type 2 Crigler-Najjar hyperbilirubinaemia.
The families of three patients with Crigler-Najjar hyperbilirubinaemia, type 2, whose plasma bilirubin levels had responded to phenobarbitone treatment, were investigated. All the parents and several relatives had mildly raised bilirubin levels. It is suggested that this condition may be an example of genetic heterogeneity and that the propositi had inherited two different abnormal genes. The s...
متن کاملHematologically important mutations: bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase gene mutations in Gilbert and Crigler-Najjar syndromes.
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 associ...
متن کاملHereditary hyperbilirubinemias.
Inherited disorders of bilirubin metabolism involve four autosomal recessive syndromes: Gilbert, CriglerNajjar, Dubin-Johnson and Rotor, among which the first two are characterized by unconjugated and the second two by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Gilbert syndrome occurs in 2%-10% of general population, while others are rare. Except for Crigler-Najjar syndrome, hereditary hyperbilirubinemias ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Crigler-Najjar syndromes type I and II and Gilbert's syndrome are familial unconjugated hyperbilirubinemias caused by genetic lesions involving a single complex locus encoding for bilirubin-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase which is involved in the detoxification of bilirubin by conjugation with glucuronic acid. Over the last few years a number of different mutations affectin...

We describe the molecular study in a cohort of 120 Portuguese patients with the clinical diagnosis of Gilbert syndrome and in one with the diagnosis of Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II, as well as a prenatal diagnosis of Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I. Among the 120 unrelated patients with Gilbert syndrome, 110 were homozygous for the [TA]7 allele ([TA]7/[TA]7), and one patient was a compound he...
