Background : Uridine diphospho(UDP)-glucuronocyltransferase(UGT) 1A1 polymorphisms are a risk factor of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in neonates. UGT1A1 polymorphisms decreases bilirubin conjugation thus causing hyperbilirubinemia. A variety of polymorphism have been reported, with UGT1A1*60 and UGT1A1*6 becoming of special attention in the Asian population. Hyperbilirubinemia polymorphism studies in Indonesia are scarce and require further studies. The objective of this study is to identify UGT1A1*60 and UGT1A1*6 profile in Indonesia in the heterogeneous ethnicity population
Material : We enrolled 42 samples of jaundiced neonates who were born between January – April 2017 and treated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of National Referral Center, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta. Genetic mutations in Exon 1 (c211g>a) and promoter region (c3279t>g) were analysed by polymerase Chain Reaction – Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method with DraI and AvaII as restriction enzymes. Clinical data including total serum bilirubin and racial information were obtained by medical records and interview with parents.
Results : We found mutations of UGT1A1*6 in 4.8% samples (heterozygous), and 4.8% heterozygous and 95.2% homozygous mutation of UGT1A1*60. Racial variations was not found in UGT1A1*60 while in Betawi descents, there were many heteroygous forms of UGT1A1*6 found.
Conclusions : Polymorphisms of UGT1A1 were found in Indonesian neonates. Some ethnicities also showed increased tendency towards its incidence. However further study to show its clinical relevance with hyperbilirubinemia is required.
