" /> Crigler-najjar syndrome, type II - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Crigler-najjar syndrome, type II;

CISMeF acronym : HBLRCN2;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Hyperbilirubinemia, crigler-najjar type II; HBLRCN2;

Description : The hereditary hyperbilirubinemias (Wolkoff et al., 1983) include (1) those resulting in predominantly unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia: Gilbert or Arias syndrome, Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I, and Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II; and (2) those resulting in predominantly conjugated hyperbilirubinemia: Dubin-Johnson syndrome (237500), Rotor syndrome (237450), and several forms of intrahepatic cholestasis (147480, 211600, 214950, 243300). Detailed studies show that patients with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II have reduced activity of bilirubin glucuronosyltransferase (Labrune et al., 1989, Seppen et al., 1994).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase 1 gene (UGT1, 191740.0005);

Laboratory abnormalities : Hyperbilirubinemia, unconjugated, 20mg/dl; Normal serum liver enzymes; Decreased or absent UDP-glucuronyl-transferase activity;

Prefixed ID : #606785;
