Body was changed:

Gilbert syndrome is a hereditary condition which can result in jaundice.

Pathology

It is results in intermittent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the absence of hepatocellular disease or haemolysis. Uridine diphosphate-glucuronyl transferase activity is reduced resulting in indirect hyperbilirubinemia. 

Genetics

It carries an autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance.
