  • 摘要: Genetic variations are risk factors for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NHB), a common cause of infant hospitalization in the first postnatal week, but their contribution and long-term impacts remain unclear. This population-based multicenter study enrolls 1,780 hospitalized NHB newborns and 38,158 genetically screened newborns across 20 hospitals (2019–2022). Excluding cases with clear clinical causes, 977 NHB cases are categorized into genetic variation-positive and -negative groups. Results show significantly higher NHB-related gene variants (81.63% vs. 65.62%) and positive variation rates (36.29% vs. 9.4%) in NHB cases than in the general newborn population (all P < 0.001). Among the 977 NHB cases, 325 (33.3%) have positive variants, with higher rates of severe hyperbilirubinemia (16.9% vs. 9.7%, P = 0.001), prolonged jaundice (36.3% vs. 27.6%, P = 0.005), and cholestasis/hypercholanaemia (23.7% vs. 14.7%, P < 0.001) in the positive group. Cumulative genetic variants in bilirubin metabolism pathways exhibit dose-dependent associations with increased risks of complications. Long-term follow-up reveals that UGT1A1 variants prolong jaundice up to 1 month, while severe SLC10A1 variants cause persistent cholestasis/hypercholanaemia beyond 9 months. This large-scale evidence highlights genetic factors as key NHB determinants, with implications for neonatal care protocols to integrate genetic testing and establish long-term surveillance for variant carriers.
