The crigler-najjar syndrome market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2025-2035". Crigler-Najjar Syndrome (CNS) is an uncommon inherited metabolic disorder that is caused by jaundice and results from deficiencies in bilirubin metabolism. It occurs in two forms: Type I, which is a more serious type with no enzyme activity, and Type II, which possesses reduced enzyme function. The disorder occurs due to genetic mutations of the UGT1A1 gene, causing interruptions in the process of processing bilirubin within the liver and its accumulation within the bloodstream. If not treated, the condition can result in kernicterus, a potentially fatal neurological disorder. Crigler-Najjar Syndrome patients suffer from chronic jaundice, lethargy, feeding difficulties, and possible neurotoxicity, especially in Type I. Diagnostic examination usually includes blood work showing elevated unconjugated bilirubin levels, genetic analysis for UGT1A1 mutation, and liver enzyme function testing. Liver biopsy and imaging tests are sometimes performed to exclude other liver abnormalities.
The Crigler-Najjar Syndrome market is being driven by the progress in diagnostic methods, heightened awareness of uncommon genetic disorders, and continued research on new therapies. The increasing incidence of inherited metabolic diseases and the widening newborn screening programs have contributed to significant improvements in early diagnosis, facilitating early interventions. Furthermore, the growing use of phototherapy and liver transplantation as common treatments, especially for Type I cases, is promoting market growth. Advances in gene therapy and enzyme replacement approaches are revolutionizing the treatment paradigm. New adenovirus-mediated UGT1A1 gene therapy has been promising as a definitive cure, treating the very cause of the disorder. Additionally, heme oxygenase inhibitors are also being investigated to decrease bilirubin levels, offering new therapeutic avenues. The robust encouragement of regulatory bodies for the development of orphan drugs, coupled with increased investments in rare disease research, is further driving market growth. Moreover, the increase in biopharmaceutical partnerships to create targeted therapies is creating new opportunities. With continuous clinical trials and rising awareness, the market is expected to grow steadily in the next few years.

Imlifidase, developed by Hansa Biopharma, is an IgG-cleaving enzyme being explored for Crigler-Najjar syndrome. In partnership with Genethon, it is evaluated as a pre-treatment to GNT-0003 gene therapy, aiming to improve therapeutic outcomes in patients with pre-existing anti-AAV8 antibodies by enhancing gene therapy efficacy.
GNT-0003, developed by Genethon, is a gene therapy designed for Crigler-Najjar syndrome, a rare liver disorder caused by UGT1A1 deficiency. Using an AAV vector, it delivers a functional UGT1A1 gene to restore bilirubin metabolism, potentially reducing reliance on phototherapy. Clinical trials are assessing its safety and efficacy.
HepaStem, developed by Cellaion, is a mesenchymal stem cell therapy in development for Crigler-Najjar Syndrome. It utilizes liver-derived progenitor cells to support liver function and enhance bilirubin metabolism. Designed to address the underlying metabolic deficiency, HepaStem is being evaluated in clinical trials for its safety and therapeutic potential.
