Prevalence of clinically relevant UGT1A alleles and haplotypes in African populations.

Abstract:

Variation of a short (TA)(n) repeat sequence (rs8175347) covering the TATA box of UGT1A1 (UDP-glucuronosyltransferase1A1) is associated with hyperbilirubinaemia (Gilbert's syndrome) and adverse drug reactions, and is used for dosage advice for irinotecan. Several reports indicate that the low-activity (risk) alleles ((TA)(7) and (TA)(8) )) are very frequent in Africans but the patterns of association with other variants in the UGT1A gene complex that may modulate these responses are not well ...
