AbstractWe studied the relationship between jaundice and gallstones and Gilbert alleles (Gly71Arg: 27.8% and (TA)7: 19.6%) in 94 Chinese patients with thalassemia major (TM) and 33 with thalassemia intermedia (TI). Determinants of bilirubin level included age, transfusion (TI>TM) and genetic profile ααα/β0 > β +/β0 in TI, β+/β0 > β0/β0 in adult TM, Gilbert homozygotes > others in TM and TI, Gilbert heterozygotes > wild type in TM). Determinants of gallstones (39%) included age, TI and Gilbert alleles. We conclude that the finding of unusually high bilirubin may indicate either homozygous Gilbert genotype or hemolytic thalassemia genotypes.
