Lucey–Driscoll syndrome
(Redirected from Lucey-Driscoll syndrome)
Lucey–Driscoll syndrome is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder affecting enzymes involved in bilirubin metabolism.[1] It is one of several disorders classified as a transient familial neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
Cause[edit | edit source]
The common cause is congenital, but it can also be caused by maternal steroids passed on through breast milk to the newborn. It is different from breast feeding-associated jaundice (breast-fed infants have higher bilirubin levels than formula-fed ones).
Genetics[edit | edit source]
A defect in the UGT1A1-gene, also linked to Crigler–Najjar syndrome and Gilbert's syndrome, is responsible for the congenital form of Lucey–Driscoll syndrome.
