HelpTest ID U1A1Q UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 TA Repeat Genotype, UGT1A1, Varies
Ordering Guidance
This test does not detect or report variants other than the *1 (TA6), *28 (TA7), *36 (TA5), and *6 (c.211G>A) alleles. The *37 (TA8) allele cannot be distinguished from *28 (TA7) and will be reported as *28 (TA7) by this methodology. Numerous variants outside of the TA repeat region have been described that impair UGT1A1 activity. Sequencing of the full gene is available for detection of variants outside of the TA repeat region; order UGTFG / UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), Full Gene Sequencing, Varies.
If Crigler-Najjar syndrome testing is requested, order UGTFG / UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), Full Gene Sequencing, Varies.
For more information on test ordering, see UGT1A1 Test-Ordering Algorithm.

Useful For
Identifying individuals who are at increased risk of adverse drug reactions with drugs that are metabolized by UGT1A1; especially irinotecan but also atazanavir, nilotinib, pazopanib, and belinostat
Identifying individuals with Gilbert syndrome due to the presence of homozygous UGT1A1*6 (c.211G>A, based on NM_000463.2) allele, TA7, homozygous TA8, or compound heterozygous *6, TA7 or TA8
Identifying individuals who are carriers of Gilbert syndrome due to the presence of heterozygous TA7 or TA8
This test is not useful for assessment of Crigler-Najjar syndrome.
