Polymorphic variants of SLCO1B1 in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in China

Abstract

Background: To evaluate the association between the genetic polymorphism of the solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1, also known as organic anion transport polypeptide C) and hyperbilirubinemia in Chinese neonates.

Methods: 183 infants with hyperbilirubinemia and 192 control subjects from the Fifth People's Hospital of Shenzhen were recruited. Polymerase chain reaction, restriction fragment length polymorphisms and agarose gel electrophoresis techniques were used to detect genetic variants of SLCO1B1.

Results: The study revealed that SLCO1B1 388 G > A occurred significantly more frequently in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia than in controls (RR = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.13-2.00). There were no significant differences in SLCO1B1 521 T > C between the hyperbilirubinemia and the control group (RR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.72-1.40). No carriage of the C to A substitution at nucleotide 463 was detected.

Conclusion: The SLCO1B1 388 G > A variant is associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Chinese neonates.
