Lucey–Driscoll syndrome
Lucey–Driscoll syndrome is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder affecting enzymes involved in bilirubin metabolism.[1] It is one of several disorders classified as a transient familial neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Cause
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 feeding-associated jaundice (breast-fed infants have higher bilirubin levels than formula-fed ones).
Genetics
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.
Diagnosis
Treatment
gollark: (not in the SCP universe, but in general, I mean)
gollark: I think that's been done a lot already. I liked https://qntm.org/ra, which is basically that.
gollark: I suppose you could argue that it isn't really relevant, since it can't run in the actual universe.
gollark: It also can't model itself.
gollark: It's an (uncomputable) algorithm which is boundedly worse than the best (computable) algorithm to infer things and it's arguably general intelligence.
