Several inherited chronic conditions include Gilbert’s syndrome, Dubin-Johnson syndrome, Rotor’s syndrome, and Crigler-Najjar syndrome. Of these four syndromes, Crigler-Najjar is the most serious and may result in death. The first three are usually mild, chronic conditions that can be aggravated under certain conditions but in general cause no significant health problems.
