摘要: Increased bilirubin formation and decreased conjugation play an important role in the pathogenesis of newborn jaundice. Although physiologic jaundice is seen most newborns, there are many risk factors that affect severity duration hyperbilirubinemia. The latest studies showed frequency neonatal have been increased when mutations gene coding UDP-glucuronosyltransferase(UGT)1A1 coexist with other factors. Healthy term newborns weighing over 2500 g. were included this study. patient group consisted 107 either total level 15 mg dl −1 within 7 days or 5 after age. control 55 levels physiological ranges. We investigated promoter region [thymine-adenine(TA)]7 polymorphism UGT1A1 gene. Factors which might cause pathologic prolonged coexisting also investigated. 6/7 genotype was found to be 11% 13% group. difference between groups not statistically significant. (TA)7 allele 0.069 it concluded a factor for
