Gilbert Syndrome

Description

The hereditary hyperbilirubinemias (Wolkoff et al., 1983) include (1) those resulting in predominantly unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia: Gilbert or Arias syndrome, Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I (OMIM ), and Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II (OMIM ); and (2) those resulting in predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia: Dubin-Johnson syndrome (OMIM ), Rotor syndrome (OMIM ), and several forms of intrahepatic cholestasis ({147480}, {211600}, {214950}, {243300}). Detailed studies show that patients with Gilbert syndrome have reduced activity of bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase (Bosma et al., 1995, Koiwai et al., 1995). Genetic Heterogeneity of HyperbilirubinemiaSee also Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I (HBLRCN1 ), Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II (HBLRCN2 ), and transient familial neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (HBLRTFN ), all caused by mutation in the UGT1A1 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 2q37; Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS, HBLRDJ; {237500}), caused by mutation in the ABCC2 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 10q24; and Rotor syndrome (HBLRR ), caused by digenic mutation in the SLCO1B1 (OMIM ) and SLCOB3 (OMIM ) genes, both on chromosome 12p.
