- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

- Definition
-
Lucey-Driscoll syndrome is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder affecting enzymes involved in bilirubin metabolism.
It is one of several disorders classified as a transient familial neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
The common cause is congenital, but it can also be caused by maternal steroids passed on through breast milk to the newborn. It is different from breast milk jaundice (breast-fed infants have higher bilirubine levels than formula-fed ones).
Lucey-Driscoll syndrome has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
A defect in the UGT1A1-gene, also linked to Crigler-Najjar syndrome and Gilbert's syndrome, is responsible for the congenital form of Lucey-Driscoll syndrome.
