UGT1A1 GENE POLYMORPHISM (NUCLEOTIDE TA REPEATS) DETECTION
Also Known As:
UGT1A1
UGT1A1 Gene Polymorphism (Irinotecan Dosage)
About This Test
Genetic variants in UGT1A1 may cause reduced or absent UGT1A1 enzymatic activity, resulting in conditions associated with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia including Gilbert syndrome and Crigler-Najjar syndromes types I and II. Gilbert syndrome is the most common hereditary cause of increased bilirubin. This assay also helps in identifying individuals who are at increased risk of adverse reactions with drugs that are metabolized by UGT1A1 including Irinotecan, Atazanavir, Nilotinib, Pazopanib and Belinostat.

No special preparation required
The UGT1A1 test is important because it helps identify inherited and drug-related disorders of bilirubin metabolism, guides safe medication use, and prevents serious drug toxicity, especially in oncology and antiviral therapy.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
