Abstract

The aim of the present study was to compare, in a case-control study, the prevalence of nucleotide 211 guanine to adenine (G-->A) mutation of uridine diphosphoglucuronosyl transferase (UGT1A1) gene in Malaysian Chinese newborns with and without severe hyperbilirubinemia (total serum bilirubin >250 micromol/L during first 48 h of life or > or =300 micromol/L thereafter), and to determine whether this mutation was a significant risk factor associated with severe hyperbilirubinemia.
