Risk factors
Although it's present from birth, Gilbert's syndrome usually isn't noticed until puberty or later, since bilirubin production increases during puberty. You have an increased risk of Gilbert's syndrome if:
- Both your parents carry the abnormal gene that causes the disorder
- You're male
