Hyperbiliverdinemia(HBLVD)

MedGen UID:
481594
•Concept ID:
C3279964
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: GREEN JAUNDICE; HBLVD
SNOMED CT: Hyperbiliverdinemia (771441005)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
•Concept ID:
C0441748
•
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
•Concept ID:
C0443147
•
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

Hyperbiliverdinemia can manifest as green jaundice, which is a green discoloration of the skin, urine, serum, and other bodily fluids, due to increased biliverdin resulting from inefficient conversion to bilirubin. Although rarely reported, affected individuals appear to have symptoms only in the context of obstructive cholestasis and/or liver failure. In some cases, green jaundice can resolve after resolution of obstructive cholestasis. Green jaundice has also been associated with malnutrition, medication, and congenital biliary atresia (summary by Huffman et al., 2009). [from OMIM]
