[Gene mutation pattern of Gilbert's syndrome combined with viral hepatitis and its relationship with the exploration of clinical data].

Objective: To study whether gene mutation pattern of Gilbert's syndrome (GS) is combined with viral hepatitis and its relationship with relevant clinical data. Methods: Clinical data of GS patients combined with viral hepatitis who was admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from August 2013 to December 2018 was retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between gene mutation pattern, general data (age, gender, etc.) and liver biochemical indexes was analyzed. The differences of the above data in patients with or without combined viral hepatitis were analyzed. The measurement data were compared by t-test. The categorical data was compared by the χ (2) test. The median and interquartile range of non-normally distributed data was used to indicate the central and discrete tendency. Results: A total of 107 GS eligible cases data were collected. The male to female ratio was 4.94:1 (89:18). The average age of onset was (36.36 ± 12.51) years. Alanine aminotransferase and total bilirubin levels were normal or slightly elevated, while aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and γ-glutamyltransferase were all within the normal range. There were 49 cases in the combined viral hepatitis group (36 cases with HBV and 13 cases with HCV), and 58 cases in the GS alone group. Total bilirubin level in GS alone group was higher than the combined viral hepatitis group (z = 0.035, P 0.05). Uridine diphosphate glucuronide transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), specifically encoded by GS was detected in all 107 cases. Mutations was mainly occurred in the upstream promoter PBREM-3263 (-3279) (86 cases) and TATA box TA insertion mutation (71 cases), and GGA-AGA Gly71Arg (57 cases) mutation in EXON1 of the coding region. All mutation forms had manifestations of homozygous and heterozygous abnormalities. The combined incidence of main mutation forms in the genetic testing data were sequenced as: A2 + B2 + C2 (17 cases, 25.23%), A1 + B1 (17 cases, 15.89%), A2 (11 cases, 10.28%), C2 (10 Cases, 9.34%), A2 + B2 (7 cases, 6.54%), A1 + B2 (7 cases, 6.54%), C1 (7 cases, 6.54%), and there was no statistically significant difference between different mutation combinations in patients with or without hepatitis (P > 0.05). The results of total data analysis showed that the total bilirubin level in the single-site mutation group was higher than the multi-site mutation group (Z=2.019, P = 0.043), and other biochemical indicators had no effect (P > 0.05) and the differences were not statistically significant. Further analysis showed that the total bilirubin level of the single-site mutation subgroup in the GS alone group was higher than the multi-site mutation subgroup (Z = 1.999, P = 0.046), and the statistical difference was similar to the combined viral hepatitis group (P > 0.05). Different mutation combinations had no effect on biochemical indexes, and had no relationship with combined viral hepatitis (P > 0.05). Conclusion: GS is common in patients with combined viral hepatitis, and there is no significant difference between the incidence of gene mutation, mutation forms, biochemical indexes, and non-hepatitis group. The increase in the number of GS mutation sites does not aggravate the deterioration of bilirubin levels due to the decrease in the content and activity of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase, and the combination of different mutation sites does not affect the changes of various biochemical indexes, and at the same time it is not related to hepatitis.
