ABSTRACT
AIM:
To determine the implication of the polymorphism namely A(TA)nTAA of UGT1A1 in lithogenesis for the first time in Tunisia among sickle cell anemia (SCA) children patients. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Our study was performed in 2010 and it involved 76 subjects chosen as control group characterized with normal hemoglobin status and presence of cholelithiasis and 102 SCA pediatric patients among whom 52 have cholelithiasis. We analyzed the polymorphism A(TA)DISCUSSION:
The repartition of genotypes found according to serum bilirubin level shows a significant association between genotypes carried variant (TA)CONCLUSION:
The novelty of this report is that it is the first time that a similar study was made on the Tunisian children sickle cell population and that the results show a clear association of (TA)
