Susceptibility

Variant & Polymorphism repeat	UGT1A1*28 genotype and male gender predict an increased incidence of liver functional test abnormalities during pegvisomant therapy in acromegaly
	patients carrying UGT1A1 *28 allele(s) are at an increased risk of irinotecan-induced severe diarrhoea
	UGT1A1*1 polymorphism, which results in lower serum levels of the endogenous antioxidant bilirubin, was associated with an increased risk of head and neck cancer
	UGT1A1 A(TA)(7)TAA allele is a potential risk factor for breast cancer in Caucasians
	the c.-3279T>G mutation in the UGT1A1 promoter is a genetic risk factor for neonatal jaundice
	rs6742078 variant explains 18percent of the variation in total of serum bilirubin levels
