The UGT1A1 Gene Polymorphism (TA Repeat) Test is a genetic test used to identify variations in the promoter region of the UGT1A1 gene, specifically the number of TA repeats. This gene is responsible for producing an enzyme that helps process bilirubin in the liver.
Certain polymorphisms, such as increased TA repeats, can reduce enzyme activity and lead to conditions like Gilbert’s syndrome, which is characterized by mild, intermittent elevations in bilirubin levels. This test is also important in pharmacogenomics, as UGT1A1 variations can affect how the body metabolizes certain medications, particularly some chemotherapy drugs.
The purpose of this test is to:
- Detect UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms (TA repeats)
- Diagnose conditions like Gilbert’s syndrome
- Assess bilirubin metabolism disorders
- Support pharmacogenomic evaluation for drug metabolism
- Guide personalized treatment decisions
