Association of polymorphisms in four bilirubin metabolism genes with serum bilirubin in three Asian populations
AssociationN=2,060Rong Lin et al.(2009)· Human Mutation

This association study investigated polymorphisms in four bilirubin metabolism genes (UGT1A1, HMOX1, BLVRA, SLCO1B1) with serum total bilirubin (TBIL) levels in three Asian populations (502 Kazak, 769 Uyghur, 789 Han). The UGT1A1 (TA)n repeat polymorphism and rs4148323:G>A were strongly associated with TBIL levels across all three populations (P<0.005), with the (TA)7 allele and A allele associated with higher TBIL levels. The (GT)n repeat polymorphism in HMOX1 showed association only in the Uyghur population. The (TA)n repeat and rs4148323 variants together explained 3.9-9.8% of TBIL variation by population.

About SLCO1B1

This gene encodes a liver-specific member of the organic anion transporter family. The encoded protein is a transmembrane receptor that mediates the sodium-independent uptake of numerous endogenous compounds including bilirubin, 17-beta-glucuronosyl estradiol and leukotriene C4. This protein is also involved in the removal of drug compounds such as statins, bromosulfophthalein and rifampin from the blood into the hepatocytes. Polymorphisms in the gene encoding this protein are associated with impaired transporter function. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
