Biocore® PCR Kit for Gilbert’s Syndrome (UGT1A1*28 polymorphism)
Biocore® Gilbert’s Syndrome — a modern PCR test system for the genetic screening of the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism (number of TA repeats) in the UGT1A1 gene using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), developed by the Ukrainian company Biocore Technology.
Gilbert’s syndrome is an inherited genetic disorder of bilirubin metabolism, characterised by elevated levels of unconjugated (indirect) bilirubin in the blood and intermittent jaundice. The condition is caused by the UGT1A1*28 polymorphism — an increase in the number of TA repeats in the promoter region of the UGT1A1 gene, which leads to reduced activity of the enzyme UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UGT1A1) and impaired bilirubin conjugation in the liver.
