question
My baby is almost 2 months old, after 1 week of birth he suffered with jaundice biluribin 13 then we kept him for photography and came down to 10 but his eyes were still yellowish, now after 2month we observed his eye yellow & got him checked and found biluribin 14 level again we go through phototherapy and now its 9 eyes are white. But doctor suggested us to get the " Genetic testing for crigler najjar syndrome (UG T1 A1).

Please let me know the purpose of this test & further results if it comes positive or negative.

Please revert asap i m very worried. Any long life effect.

This test is a very sensitive test it will help us to identify the gene disorder because of which there is discrepancy in liver enzyme we just want to know if the liver enzyme is completely absent if it is type 1 syndrome it is a different disease but do not worry it is treatable the good thing is it is treatable so please do not panic just go for the test tomorrow day after tomorrow then we await the report and see the level I repeat again no need to panic please
