A form of Crigler Najjar syndrome (CNS), a hereditary disorder of hepatic bilirubin conjugation, characterized by severe neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia due to a complete absence of hepatic UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1. The disorder clinically manifests with neonatal, isolated, severe and permanent jaundice with a permanent risk of bilirubin encephalopathy.
