Human UGT1A1*6 allele is located in the vicinity of 2q37 and is approximately 13 kb in length. This allele, which encodes UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1-1*6 protein, plays a role in the transformation of small lipophilic molecules into water-soluble metabolites. Homozygous expression of the UGT1A1*6 allele is associated with decreased enzymatic activity and Gilbert syndrome, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and intermittent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
