What are the measure values for the test UGT1A1 Genotyping for Gilbert Syndrome (Qualitative) Test

  • Negative: No variant detected in UGT1A1 gene
  • Indeterminate: Inconclusive result, further testing may be required

What does this test UGT1A1 Genotyping for Gilbert Syndrome (Qualitative) Test identify?

  • Test Name: UGT1A1 Genotyping for Gilbert Syndrome (Qualitative) Test
  • Identifies: The presence of specific genetic variations in the UGT1A1 gene that are associated with Gilbert Syndrome
  • Details: Gilbert Syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the liver's ability to process bilirubin, leading to mild jaundice. This test detects variations in the UGT1A1 gene that can affect the enzyme responsible for bilirubin metabolism.

Why is this test UGT1A1 Genotyping for Gilbert Syndrome (Qualitative) Test taken?

UGT1A1 Genotyping for Gilbert Syndrome (Qualitative) Test is taken to determine if a person has a specific gene variant that is associated with Gilbert Syndrome. Gilbert Syndrome is a common, harmless genetic condition that affects how a person's liver processes bilirubin, a substance produced by the breakdown of red blood cells. People with Gilbert Syndrome may have slightly elevated levels of bilirubin in their blood, which can cause mild jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) at times of stress, illness, or fasting.

The UGT1A1 gene is responsible for producing an enzyme that helps break down bilirubin in the liver. A specific gene variant known as UGT1A1*28 is associated with Gilbert Syndrome. This test can detect the presence of the UGT1A1*28 variant, which can help confirm a diagnosis of Gilbert Syndrome in individuals with symptoms of mild jaundice or elevated bilirubin levels.
