Effect of bilirubin UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 gene TATA box genotypes on serum bilirubin concentrations in chronic liver injuries.
TATA box abnormality in the promoter region of the bilirubin UDP glucuronosyltransferase 1 gene has been reported to cause Gilbert's syndrome in white subjects. It has also been reported that the majority of Japanese patients with Gilbert's syndrome are heterozygous for Gly71Arg in the coding region of this gene. On the other hand, some patients with chronic hepatitis often show signs of unexpe...
متن کاملGenotype frequencies of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 promoter gene polymorphism in the population of healthy Croatian pre-scholars.
Increased serum bilirubin levels in patients with Gilbert syndrome (GS) are caused by reduction of hepatic activity of bilirubin glucuronosyltranferase to about 30% of normal. UGT1A1 genetic polymorphism with absent or very low bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (B-UGT) activity is associated with Gilbert's syndrome (GS) and other hyperbilirubinemias. The genetic basis of GS is the insertion...
متن کاملGenetic variation underlying common hereditary hyperbilirubinaemia (Gilbert's syndrome) and respiratory health in the 1946 British birth cohort.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Bilirubin has potent antioxidant properties in vitro and raised serum levels have been associated with lower rates of respiratory disease. The enzyme uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase polypeptide 1A1 (UGT1A1) is solely responsible for clearing bilirubin from the blood and homozygosity for seven thymine-adenine (TA) repeats in the TATA box regulatory element of the UG...
متن کاملUGT1 promoter polymorphism accounts for increased neonatal appearance of hereditary spherocytosis.
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a common inherited hemolytic anemia with a prevalence of at least 1 in 5,000 people.1 The clinical features of HS are anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly. The clinical forms in adulthood are mild, typical, and severe. However, HS is commonly symptomatic in the neonatal period (65% of cases). Jaundice is the first and more frequent symptom, often requiring phototh...
متن کاملAssociation of CD24V/V Genotype with Susceptibility and Progression of Multiple Sclerosis in Iranian Population
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in CD24 has been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a population based study. This SNP results in the replacement of alanine (CD24A) by valine (CD24V) at amino acid 57 in the resulting polypeptide chain. In the current study, the genotyping of this SNP and its contribution to MS in 217 patients and 200 healthy individuals of an Iranian population w...
