What is Dubin-Johnson syndrome?

Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a rare genetic condition that affects your liver. A genetic mutation causes a buildup of bilirubin in your body. Bilirubin is a yellow substance produced when red blood cells reach the end of their lifespan. Bilirubin should release into your bile, a substance to help move waste out of your liver and digestive system. Instead, bilirubin collects in your liver and bloodstream and causes symptoms of jaundice, where your skin and the whites of your eyes appear yellow.
