Gilbert's syndrome

Gilbert's syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects how the liver conjugates bilirubin. People with Gilbert's syndrome have mild jaundice, which unusually appears under stressful conditions. The disorder is typically passed down through families in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning both parents will pass on the gene for a child to be affected.
