Rotor Syndrome
Rotor Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the liver's ability to process bile. It is characterized by an increase in bilirubin levels in the blood, leading to jaundice, which is a yellowing of the skin and eyes. This condition is caused by mutations in the genes responsible for bile transport, specifically affecting the ABCC2 and ABCC3 genes.
Individuals with Rotor Syndrome typically experience mild symptoms and may not require treatment. The condition is often diagnosed through blood tests that reveal elevated bilirubin levels. Unlike other liver disorders, Rotor Syndrome does not lead to serious complications or liver damage over time.
