Abstract
Objective: To investigate the family gene features in Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) type II. Methods: The UGT1A1 gene and related bilirubin metabolism genes were comprehensively analysed in a CNS-II family (3 CNS-II, 1 Gilbert syndrome, and 8 normal subjects). The genetics basis of CNS-II were investigated from the perspective of family analysis. Results: In three cases, compound heterozygous mutations at three sites of the UGT1A1 gene (c.-3279T > G, c.211G > A and c.1456T > G) caused CNS-II. Gilbert syndrome and CNS-II were not significantly associated with distribution or diversity loci. Conclusion: The compound heterozygous pathogenic mutations (c.-3279T > G, c.211G > A, and c.1456T > G) at three loci of the UGT1A1 gene may be the feature of the newly discovered CNS-II family genes based on the CNS-II family study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the characteristics of UGT1A1 gene mutations in Dong neonates in Sanjiang County of Liuzhou and its association with the pathogenesis of hyperbilirubinemia in Dong neonates. METHODS A prospective analysis was performed on 84 neonates who were diagnosed with unexplained hyperbilirubinemia in the Department of Neonatology, Sanjiang County People's Hospital, from January 2021 to January 2022. Sixty healthy neonates born during the same period were enrolled as the control group. Peripheral blood genomic DNA was extracted for both groups, and UGT1A1 exon 1 was amplified by PCR and sequenced. RESULTS In the case group, 33 neonates were found to have G71R missense mutation, with a mutation rate of 39%. The case group had a significantly higher frequency of A allele than the healthy control group (21% vs 10%, P<0.05). The risk of hyperbilirubinemia in Dong neonates carrying G71R missense mutation was 2.588 times as high as that in healthy neonates carrying wild-type UGT1A1 gene (P<0.05). Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium testing showed that the UGT1A1 G71R locus was in genetic equilibrium in both groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS UGT1A1 G71R mutation is a high-frequency gene mutation type in Dong neonates in Sanjiang County, and G71R missense mutation is associated with hyperbilirubinemia in Dong neonates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic testing of UGT1A1 was used to facilitate the diagnosis of Gilbert syndrome, and analyze the distribution features of pathogenic variants in the Chinese population. METHODS DNA was extracted from whole blood samples of patients with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, and sequencing of the UGT1A1 gene was performed after PCR amplification. After alignment with reference sequences, the known pathogenic variants were identified, the variant spectrum was analyzed, and the pathogenicity of novel variants was predicted using online mutation prediction tools. RESULTS A total of 117 patients were confirmed with Gilbert syndrome by UGT1A1 genetic diagnosis, where the most common pathogenic variants included promoter A(TA)7 TAA insertion and p.Gly71Arg missense variant. Following novel variants were also identified: p.Ala61Gly, p.Tyr67Phe, p.Leu166Alafs*16, p.Arg240Lys, p.Ser306Phe, p.Arg341Gln, and p.Glu424* variants. CONCLUSIONS Genetic testing of UGT1A1 in clinical practices could facilitate confirming Gilbert syndrome and performing differential diagnosis. The pathogenic variant spectrum in the Chinese population was similar to other Asian populations. The novel pathogenic variants identified in this study require further investigation.

Abstract
Diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome is based on the detection of homozygous carriage of an additional TA-repeat in the promoter of the UGT1A1 gene, leading to a decrease in the activity of the UGT enzyme. No large studies have been done in the Russian Federation on the prevalence of carriage of Gilbert's syndrome, as well as the biochemical and molecular profile of such patients. The aim of the study is to evaluate biochemical and molecular genetic parameters in patients with Gilbert's syndrome in Russia. The study included 124 healthy volunteers (group 1) and 5650 patients with suspected Gilbert's syndrome (group 2). The number of TA-repeats of the promoter region of the UGT1A1 gene was determined by the method of fragment analysis for all participants. The following biochemical parameters were analyzed for 299 patients from group 2: the level of bilirubin and its fractions, AST, ALT, cholesterol and LDL. In group 1 the prevalence of genotype (TA)6/(TA)6 was 39,52%, (TA)6/(TA)7 - 53,23%, (TA)7/(TA)7 - 7,26%, no rare forms were found. In group 2 the prevalence of genotype (TA)6/(TA)6 was 6,04%, (TA)6/(TA)7 - 20,05%, (TA)7/(TA)7 - 73,7%, rare alleles - 0,2%. Rare alleles included (TA)5/(TA)6, (TA)5/(TA)7, (TA)6/(TA)8 and (TA)7/(TA)8, as well as a new genotype not described in the literature previously - (TA)7/(TA)9. When assessing the level of total bilirubin and its fractions, a difference was revealed between the genotype of Gilbert's syndrome (TA)7/(TA)7 and the reference genotype (TA)6/(TA)6, and between genotypes (TA)7/(TA)7 and (TA)6/(TA)7. A significant increase in total bilirubin was demonstrated in carriers of a larger number of TA-repeats. There was no significant difference in the concentration of ALT, AST, cholesterol or LDL between different genotypes.The number of TA-repeats of the UGT1A1 gene affects the increase of total bilirubin and its indirect fraction, including the cases of rare allelic variants (TA≤5, TA≥8), but not the activity of ALT and AST and the lipid profile.

Abstract
There is limited literature on Gilbert's syndrome (GS) in children with persistent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia from Indian subcontinent. All patients (< 18 y of age) with genetically confirmed GS were included, and their profile was analysed. A total of 170 subjects were confirmed as having GS as per genetic analysis (133 with homozygous and 37 with heterozygous status). Majority were diagnosed in the adolescent age group (mean age 13.6 y). The median serum total bilirubin (TB) levels were around 3.3 mg/dl with maximum levels reaching upto 18 mg/dl. Around 15% subjects had an associated condition including hematological or hepatobiliary disease amongst others. GS is an important but under-recognised cause of unexplained unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in Indian pediatric subjects. It may co-exist with other hematological and hepatobiliary disorders, and complicate the clinical/laboratory picture. Extent of hyperbilirubinemia may fluctuate to levels much higher than what is usually described in current world literature.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (UCB) is a feature of Gilbert's syndrome (GS) and Crigler-Najjar's syndrome (CNS), which are two hereditary defects in bilirubin metabolism. Both syndromes are linked to mutations in the UGT1A1 gene, which cause either the decrease or the absence of the UGT1A1 enzymatic activity. Here, we investigated the molecular basis of the UGT1A1 gene in Tunisian patients presenting with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. METHODS Twenty-four patients with UCB were investigated. The screening protocol for hemoglobinopathies, enzymopathies, and membrane defects was executed in all patients. Afterward, the molecular analysis of the entire UGT1A1 gene was performed by DNA Sanger sequencing. Several bioinformatic tools were used to explore the effects of novel mutations. RESULTS Fifteen different UGT1A1 variations were identified, among which four are described here for the first time. In exon 5, the c.1412C > G; p.(Ala471Gly) and c.1589C > T; p.(Ser530Phe) mutations were detected in patients presenting with CNS type I and GS, respectively. In the 3'UTR region of UGT1A1, the c.*90C > T mutation was detected in 3 patients with CNS type I. In the same region, the c.*388C > T defect was found in a GS patient. A deleterious and damaging effect on the UGT1A1 protein were predicted for both exonic mutations. Furthermore, novel microRNAs were identified as targetting the mutated sequences for the 3'UTR mutations. CONCLUSION Our study provides novel data on UCB among Tunisians. Furthermore, we report four novel mutations associated with both GS and CNS. The identification of these mutations increases the spectrum of the UGT1A1 mutations and contributes to an understanding of the molecular abnormalities associated with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*60 polymorphisms of UGT1A1 gene and their association with hyperbilirubinemia. STUDY DESIGN The study was performed at a single centre - at the Department of Obstetrics of the Medical University of Gdansk in Poland. DNA was isolated from Guthrie cards of 171 infants. Only full term newborns (gestational age 38-42 weeks) were included in the study. Fluorescent molecular probes were used for UGT1A1 promoter variation analysis. The presence of UGT1A1*28 polymorphism was detected with a dual-probe system, and UGT1A1*60 with a SimpleProbe™. RESULT Homozygous UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*60 genotypes were detected in 14.6% and 20.5% of the newborns, respectively. Homozygous (G/G) genotypes of UGT1A1*60 polymorphism were found in all of the UGT1A1*28 (i.e. (TA)7/(TA)7) homozygotes. More than 80% (55/66) of the children with "wild" type UGT1A1*28 genotype (where no polymorphism was detected) (i.e. (TA)6/(TA)6) carried the "wild" (T/T) genotype of UGT1A1*60 as well. The UGT1A1*28 polymorphism was detected more often among neonates with elevated bilirubin. Hyperbilirubinemia was diagnosed more frequently in boys. CONCLUSION Polymorphisms of the UGT1A1 gene frequently co-exist in neonates. The presence of UGT1A1*28 polymorphism and male gender seem to predispose to neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Abstract
We investigated the association between c-3279T>G and unconjugated neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. In all, 141 neonates were recruited; 63 had hyperbilirubinemia necessitating treatment, and 78 with bilirubin < 7 mg/dl served as the control group. The frequency of occurrence of c-3279T > G allele was significantly higher in the hyperbilirubinemic (49.2%) than in the control group (25.6%). The homozygous (p = 0.001, OR = 17.7 and CI = 3.9-79.3) rather than the heterozygous state (p = 0.3, OR = 0.7 and CI = 0.3-1.6) was associated with hyperbilirubinemia. Among the hyperbilirubinemic group, comparison between the three genotypes, homozygous mutation, heterozygous mutation and the normal allele, revealed that the former was associated with significantly higher mean peak total serum bilirubin [mean ± standard deviation (SD): 33.7 ± 8.2, 26.9 ± 2.8 and 21± 2.7, respectively, p-value = 0.0001], higher bilirubin/albumin ratio (p = 0.000) and a longer duration of hospital stay (p = 0.001). Homozygous c-3279T > G mutation represents an important risk factor for the development of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Pigmentous gallstones occur in South Indians despite significant higher levels of circulating cholesterol. This study was conducted to identify the biochemical and/or genetic causes for the formation of pigmentous gallstones in this ethnic group. METHODS Plasma lipid profile, bile cholesterol, acids, and phospholipid levels were estimated in patients with gall stone disease and age, sex matched controls using standard protocols. Twenty-seven SNPs related to cholesterol and bilirubin metabolism pathway genes were genotyped in the study population using the Sequenom platform. An equilibrium phase diagram involving bile salt-phospholipid-cholesterol was generated to relate phenotype with the genotype. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the lipid profiles between the patients (n = 305) and controls (n = 177). Biliary cholesterol, acids, and phospholipids were significantly different between patients and controls. Single locus analysis revealed association of variants in ABCG6, ABCG8, and UGT1A1 genes with the disease; however when correction was applied as multiple testing was done, only one variant (rs6742078) in UGT1A1 gene was found to be associated with gall stone disease. Equilibrium phase diagram suggested that few samples were in the crystal formation zone. The mutant, but not wild type or heterozygous genotype of SNPs (rs6742078 and rs887829) in UGT1A1 gene, was associated with significantly higher levels of bilirubin. CONCLUSIONS Higher incidence of pigment stones in South Indians could be due to raised serum bilirubin levels that may be ascribed to variant in the UGT1A1 gene involved in glucuronidation of free bilirubin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the influence of the methylation level of UGT1A1 gene related to CPT-11 metabolic enzymes in colorectal cancer cells on the sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs. METHODS Test the changes in sensitivity of seven colorectal cancer cell strains that have been/not been subject to DAC treatment to CPT-11, analyze its correlation with CES2, UGT1A1 and GUSB mRNA expression according to IC50; screen the effective interference sequence of UGT1A1 siRNA, test the changes in cytotoxicity of CPT-11 after UGT1A1 siRNA is transfected, select RK0 cells and make them transfected with the chemosynthetic UGT1A1 siRNA after their UGT1A1 expression is restored with or without demethylation treatment. RESULTS The sensitivity of different colorectal cancer cell strains to CPT-11 showed difference (P<0.05), UGT1A1 expression in colorectal cell lines had a negative correlation with the IC50 (r=0.790648, P<0.05), the interference efficiency of the screened UGT1A1 siRNA was up to 78%. The IC50 value of siRNA decreased by nearly one time after transfected with HT-29 (P<0.01); which of methylated RK0 cells of UGT1A1 gene increased instead after the demethylation treatment. However, the IC50 value of the demethylation treatment group increased compared with the non-demethylation treatment group after UGT1A1 siRNA was transfected. CONCLUSIONS The cytotoxicity of CPT-11 to colorectal cancer cells has a negative correlation with UGT1A1 expression, and positive correlation with CES2 and GUSB. The specific silencing UGT1A1 gene of siRNA could significantly increase the sensitivity of CPT-11 to the chemotherapy of colorectal cancer cells. UGT1A1 methylation was an important factor affecting the chemosensitivity of CPT-11.

Abstract
Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) type I and type II are usually inherited as autosomal recessive conditions that result from mutations in the UGT1A1 gene. The main objective of the present review is to summarize results of all available evidence on the accuracy of SNP-based pathogenicity detection tools compared to published clinical result for the prediction of in nsSNPs that leads to disease using prediction performance method. A comprehensive search was performed to find all mutations related to CNS. Database searches included dbSNP, SNPdbe, HGMD, Swissvar, ensemble, and OMIM. All the mutation related to CNS was extracted. The pathogenicity prediction was done using SNP-based pathogenicity detection tools include SIFT, PHD-SNP, PolyPhen2, fathmm, Provean, and Mutpred. Overall, 59 different SNPs related to missense mutations in the UGT1A1 gene, were reviewed. Comparing the diagnostic OR, PolyPhen2 and Mutpred have the highest detection 4.983 (95% CI: 1.24 - 20.02) in both, following by SIFT (diagnostic OR: 3.25, 95% CI: 1.07 - 9.83). The highest MCC of SNP-based pathogenicity detection tools, was belong to SIFT (34.19%) followed by Provean, PolyPhen2, and Mutpred (29.99%, 29.89%, and 29.89%, respectively). Hence the highest SNP-based pathogenicity detection tools ACC, was fit to SIFT (62.71%) followed by PolyPhen2, and Mutpred (61.02%, in both). Our results suggest that some of the well-established SNP-based pathogenicity detection tools can appropriately reflect the role of a disease-associated SNP in both local and global structures.

Abstract
Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CN) is a congenital defect in bilirubin conjugation due to complete or partial deficiency of uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT). It is of two types: CN type I and CN type II. Patients with CN type II present with indirect hyperbilirubinemia in adulthood. We report a CN type II with homozygous mutation in UGT1A1 gene. This is the first case report of mutation analysis in CN type II from India.

Abstract
AIM: To identify the variants in UDP-glucuronosyltransfe-rase 1 (UGT1A1) gene in Gilbert’s syndrome (GS) and to estimate the association between homozygosity for TA insertion and GS in India, as well as the frequency of TA insertion and its impact among normal controls in India.
METHODS: Ninety-five GS cases and 95 normal controls were selected. Liver function and other tests were done. The promoter and all 5 exons of UGT1A1 gene were resequenced. Functional assessment of a novel trinucleotide insertion was done by in silico analysis and by estimating UGT1A1 promoter activity carried out by luciferase reporter assay of appropriate constructs in Hep G2 cell line.
RESULTS: Among the GS patients, 80% were homozygous for the TA insertion, which was several-fold higher than reports from other ethnic groups. The mean UCB level was elevated among individuals with only one copy of this insertion, which was not significantly different from those with two copies. Many new DNA variants in UGT1A1 gene were discovered, including a trinucleotide (CAT) insertion in the promoter found in a subset (10%) of GS patients, but not among normal controls. In-silico analysis showed marked changes in the DNA-folding of the promoter and functional analysis showed a 20-fold reduction in transcription efficiency of UGT1A1 gene resulting from this insertion, thereby significantly elevating the UCB level.
CONCLUSION: The genetic epidemiology of GS is variable across ethnic groups and the epistatic interactions among UGT1A1 promoter variants modulate bilirubin glucuronidation.
