Rotor syndrome (also known as Rotor type hyperbilirubinemia)[2] is a rare cause of mixed direct (conjugated) and indirect (unconjugated) hyperbilirubinemia, relatively benign, autosomal recessive[3] bilirubin disorder characterized by non-hemolytic jaundice due to the chronic elevation of predominantly conjugated bilirubin.[2]

Rotor type hyperbilirubinemia is a distinct yet similar disorder to Dubin–Johnson syndrome[1] – both diseases cause an increase in conjugated bilirubin, but Rotor syndrome differs in that it is a result of impaired hepatocellular storage of conjugated bilirubin that leaks into plasma causing hyperbilirubinemia.[2]
