Mutations in this gene subsequently result in disease presented with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. A previous study showed that a TA-repeat polymorphism in the promoter region of this gene might play a role in the metabolism of bilirubin. Whether this polymorphism might predispose choledocholithiasis is unclear. Methods: We recruited 32 patients who were diagnosed with pigment choledocholithiasis (common bile duct stones) by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) morphology and 107 population controls. The TA-repeat in the UGT1A1 promoter was genotyped. Results: We found that among the 32 patients, 15 (46.9%) were wild type (A[TA]6TAA homozygous); 15 (46.9%) were a heterozygous variation (A[TA[6TAA/A[TA]7TAA) and 2 (6.2%) were a homozygous variation (A[TA]7TAA). Among the controls, 81 (75.7%) were wild type, 23 (21.5%) were a heterozygous variation and 3 (2.8%) were a homozygous variation. The genotype distribution was significantly different between patients and controls. Conclusions: The results suggest that the UGT1A1 promoter TA-repeat polymorphism is associated with choledocholithiasis in Taiwanese patients. ? 2009 Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Foundation and Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd. |
