Abstract:Mutations in UGT1A gene have been associated with the development and prognosis of urinary bladder cancer (UBC). UGT1A proteins are involved in a spectrum of detoxification processes, hence the biological mechanism between UGT1A and UBC is difficult to elucidate. Concurrently, mild hyperbilirubinemia, caused by alterations in UGT1A, has been associated with multiple health outcomes. We have investigated the potential effect of mild hyperbilirubinemia on UBC risk and prognosis, using a Mendelian Randomization… Show more
