04/01/1998 - "There was no overlap of the enzyme activities of 2 cases with Crigler-Najjar syndrome (type II) (0.006 nmole/mg protein/min on average) and 6 cases with Gilbert's syndrome (0.051 +/- 0.016 nmole/mg protein/min). "
10/01/2018 - "Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II is caused by mutations in the UGT1A1 gene resulting in severely reduced hepatic activity of UDP-glucoronyltransferase - an enzyme required to convert bilirubin into a more soluble form that can then be removed from the body. "
08/01/2010 - "Crigler Najjar syndrome type II is related to a defect of bilirubin conjugation due to partial deficiency of the enzyme uridine diphosphate-glucuronyl transferase. "
11/02/1995 - "We sequenced the coding and promoter regions of the gene for bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1 (bilirubin/uridine diphosphoglucuronate-glucuronosyltransferase 1)--the only enzyme that contributes substantially to bilirubin glucuronidation--in 10 unrelated patients with Gilbert's syndrome, 16 members of a kindred with a history of Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II, and 55 normal subjects. "
12/01/2007 - "UGT1A1 coding region mutations, including UGT1A1*6 (G71R), UGT1A1*7 (Y486D), UGT1A1*27 (P229Q) and UGT1A1*62 (F83L), have been linked to Gilbert syndrome in Asian populations, whereas homozygosity for UGT1A1*7 is associated with the Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II. This work compared the effects of (a) the individual UGT1A1 mutations on the glucuronidation kinetics bilirubin, beta-estradiol, 4-methylumbelliferone (4MU) and 1-naphthol (1NP), and (b) the Y486 mutation, which occurs in the conserved carboxyl terminal domain of UGT1A enzymes, on 4MU, 1NP and naproxen glucuronidation by UGT1A3, UGT1A6 and UGT1A10.
