Understanding UGT1A1 Gene Mutation: Implications for Gilbert’s Syndrome

Genes, our biological blueprint, often contain subtle variations. Some of these variations can lead to drastic changes in how our bodies function. One such gene, UGT1A1, is known for its connection to Gilbert’s Syndrome. The presence of mutations in the UGT1A1 gene leads to a common but often under-diagnosed condition characterized by elevated bilirubin levels in the bloodstream.
