Popis: Neonatal jaundice has been suggested as a perinatal risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We examined UGT1A1 polymorphisms to assess the potential of neonatal jaundice as a risk factor for ASD in children by using DNA extracted from preserved umbilical cord. In total, 79 children with ASD were genotyped for UGT1A1*28 (c.-41-40dup), UGT1A1*6 (c.211 G A), and UGT1A1*27 (c.686 C A). The allele frequency of UGT1A1*6 (OR = 1.34, p = 0.26) and UGT1A1*28 (OR = 0.80, p = 0.54) and the prevalence of UGT1A1*28/*6 diplotypes did not differ significantly from those in the control population. No UGT1A1*27 allele was detected in the subjects. ASD symptom assessment scores were not associated with UGT1A1*28/*6/*27 genotypes or UGT1A1*28/*6 diplotypes. These results suggest that neonatal jaundice is not significantly associated with ASD.
