1 UGT1A1 genetic variants are associated with increases in bilirubin levels in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with sarilumab. Bilirubin UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 Homo sapiens
2 Variants in the UGT1A1 gene were strongly associated with maximum bilirubin elevations in sarilumab-treated patients (rs4148325; p = 2.88 x 10-41) but were not associated with aminotransferase elevations. Bilirubin UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 Homo sapiens
3 These findings suggest that most bilirubin increases during sarilumab treatment are related to genetic variation in UGT1A1 rather than underlying liver injury. Bilirubin UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 Homo sapiens
