Who does Crigler-Najjar syndrome affect?

Crigler-Najjar syndrome can affect anyone, as it is a genetic condition. You can inherit the condition from your parents during conception if they both give you a copy of the UGT1A1 mutated gene (autosomal recessive). If only one parent passes the mutated gene onto you, the mutation could cause a less severe syndrome called Gilbert’s syndrome.
