Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: 183 infants with hyperbilirubinemia and 192 control subjects from the Fifth People's Hospital of Shenzhen were recruited. Polymerase chain reaction, restriction fragment length polymorphisms and agarose gel electrophoresis techniques were used to detect genetic variants of SLCO1B1. RESULTS: The study revealed that SLCO1B1 388 G > A occurred significantly more frequently in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia than in controls (RR = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.13-2.00). There were no significant differences in SLCO1B1 521 T > C between the hyperbilirubinemia and the control group (RR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.72-1.40). No carriage of the C to A substitution at nucleotide 463 was detected. CONCLUSION:
