The impact of SLCO1B1 genetic polymorphisms on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia: a systematic review with meta-analysis

ObjectiveTo determine whether three variants (388 G>A, 521 T>C, and 463 C>A) of the solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) are associated with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.Data sourceThe China National Knowledge Infrastructure and MEDLINE databases were searched. The systematic review with meta-analysis included genetic studies which assessed the association between neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and 388 G>A, 521 T>C, and 463 C>A variants of SLCO1B1 between January of 1980 and December of 2012. Data selection and extraction were performed independently by two reviewers.Summary of the findingsTen articles were included in the study. The results revealed that SLCO1B1 388 G>A is associated with an increased risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.07–1.82) in Chinese neonates, but not in white, Thai, Latin American, or Malaysian neonates. The SLCO1B1 521 T>C mutation showed a low risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Chinese neonates, while no significant associations were found in Brazilian, white, Asian, Thai, and Malaysian neonates. There were no significant differences in SLCO1B1 463 C>A between the hyperbilirubinemia and the control group.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that the 388 G>A mutation of the SLCO1B1 gene is a risk factor for developing neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Chinese neonates, but not in white, Thai, Brazilian, or Malaysian populations; the SLCO1B1 521 T>C mutation provides protection for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in Chinese neonates, but not in white, Thai, Brazilian, or Malaysian populations.     

胰岛素样生长因子-1在新生儿高胆红素血症中的变化及意义

目的：胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)是神经系统必需的调节因子,目前少有报道其与高胆红素血症之间的关系。该文主要通过测定高胆红素血症（高胆）新生儿血清中IGF-1水平及新生儿神经行为评分(NBNA)来探讨IGF-1与高胆的关系及其临床意义。方法：应用电化学发光分析法检测57例高胆新生儿和 25例正常新生儿血清中IGF-1 浓度,同步测定血清总胆红素(TSB)、未结合胆红素(USB)及白蛋白(ALB)含量,计算USB与ALB比值(B/A),并行新生儿 NBNA 评分。高胆组按血清TSB值221~256 μmol/L,257~342 μmol/L,＞342 μmol/L分为轻、中、重三组;对照组TSB ＜85 μmol/L。结果：轻、中、重高胆患儿血清IGF-1浓度均值分别为39.38±8.42,30.77±4.65,26.34±2.05 ng/L,较对照组50.16±15.73 ng/ L明显降低,在轻、中、重高胆组间IGF-1浓度差异存在显著性(P＜0.01),其值随着胆红素的升高而降低;轻、中、重高胆组NBNA评分均值分别为35.01±2.26,32.45±2.74,26.77±5.02,明显低于对照组38.24±0.78(P＜0.01),高胆各组间差异也有显著性(P＜0.01);血清IGF-1 浓度与NBNA评分呈正相关(r=0.603, P＜0.01),与B/A值呈负相关(r=-0.483, P＜0.01)。结论：高胆患儿血清IGF-1浓度显著降低,降低程度与血清胆红素水平有关;IGF-1可能与新生儿胆红素脑损伤密切相关。［中国当代儿科杂志,2009,11（5）：357-360］     

Risk factors for severe hyperbilirubinemia in neonates

The incidence of severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is higher in Asians than in whites. A case-control study was designed to investigate the effects of eight known risk factors [breast feeding, ABO incompatibility, premature birth, infection, cephalohematoma, asphyxia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, and variant UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) gene] and a suspicious analog [organic anion transporter 2 (OATP 2) gene] on severe hyperbilirubinemia in Taiwanese neonates. The 72 study subjects and 100 hospital control subjects consisted of neonates with peak serum bilirubin levels > or =342 microM and <256.5 microM, respectively. The PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism method was applied to detect the UGT1A1, OATP 2, and G6PD genes. The results of multivariate logistic regressions, adjusted for covariates, revealed odds ratios (ORs) of 4.64 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.25-9.57; p < 0.001], 3.36 (95% CI: 1.54-7.35; p=0.002), and 3.02 (95% CI: 1.30-6.99; p=0.010) for neonates who were fed with breast milk, and carry the variant UGT1A1 gene at nucleotide 211 and the variant OATP 2 gene at nucleotide 388, respectively. The ORs, adjusted for covariates, for the other six risk factors were not statistically significant. The ORs in neonates who had one, two, and three significant risk factors were 8.46 (95% CI: 2.75-34.48; p < 0.001), 22.0 (95% CI: 5.50-88.0; p < 0.001), and 88.0 (95% CI: 12.50-642.50; p < 0.001), respectively. In conclusion, neonates who carry the 211 and 388 variants in the UGT1A1 and OATP 2 genes, respectively, as well as feed with breast milk are at high risk to develop severe hyperbilirubinemia.     

Total serum bilirubin levels during the first 2 days of life and subsequent neonatal morbidity in very low birth weight infants: a retrospective review

To determine the relationship between total serum bilirubin (TSB) during the first 2 days of life and subsequent neonatal morbidity in very low birth weight (VLBW, less than 1500 g) infants. We performed a prospective study of 582 VLBW infants born between July 1, 2005 and December 31, 2009. TSB was measured in umbilical cord blood (UCB), at 24 and 48 h after birth. Demographic and clinical characteristics of infants in hospital were recorded. The interaction between TSB variables during the first 48 h of life and subsequent neonatal morbidity were assessed in logistic regression analyses adjusted for multiple risk factors. It was found that TSB in UCB was in a negative correlation with occurrence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) [OR 0.626, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.446–0.879, p = 0.007], and there was also a negative correlation between TSB in UCB and occurrence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) [OR 0.695, 95% CI 0.826–0.981, p = 0.020]. However, TSB in UCB positively correlated with hyperbilirubinemia [OR 2.471, 95% CI 1.326–3.551, p = 0.012], and TSB at 24 h after birth was also in a positive correlation with early onset sepsis (EOS) [OR 1.299, 95% CI 1.067–1.582, p = 0.011]. VLBW infants with low TSB levels in UCB were more likely to develop RDS and IVH, and those with low TSB levels in UCB were less likely to develop hyperbilirubinemia. Infants with high TSB levels at 24 h after birth were more likely to develop EOS. The protective effect of raised TSB in UCB with respect to RDS and IVH warrants further investigation.

Correlation between unconjugated bilirubin and total cholesterol in the sera of 1‐month‐old infants

Aim: To investigate why breastfed infants are more likely to have prolonged jaundice than formula‐fed infants. Methods: Serum unconjugated bilirubin (UCB), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) were measured for 102 infants of 1 month. Enrolled infants were 42 breastfed, 40 mixed‐fed and 20 bottle‐fed infants. Statistic analyses for relationship among UCB, TC, TG, perinatal factors and post‐natal factors were performed for these infants. Results: In correlation analyses UCB was correlated with peak transcutaneous bilirubin value in neonatal period (TcBn) (r = 0.612, P < 0.0001) and with TC (r = 0.383, P < 0.0001). When analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) for UCB were performed using TcBn as the covariate, the results indicated that there was neither significant main nor interaction effect of feeding method on UCB, and that main and interaction effects of TC on UCB were significant when TC was categorised into two groups (≤150 mg/dL and >150 mg/dL). Conclusions: It is suggested that both neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and subsequent higher plasma TC are associated factors for prolonged jaundice.
