Studies of infants born in Melbourne, Australia, to parents who migrated from Greece failed to demonstrate an increased incidence or severity of neonatal jaundice. No effect of birthplace of parents within Greece on serum bilirubin levels could be discerned. These findings indicate that the high frequency of severe neonatal jaundice which has been demonstrated throughout Greece, and especially in certain regions of that country, is not carried with those who immigrate. Further studies of this problem in Greece should concentrate on regional environment rather than upon genetic influences.
对在澳大利亚墨尔本出生、父母从希腊移民而来的婴儿进行的研究未能证明新生儿黄疸的发病率或严重程度有所增加。未发现希腊境内父母的出生地对血清胆红素水平有影响。这些发现表明，在希腊各地，尤其是该国某些地区所显示的严重新生儿黄疸的高发病率，不会随着移民者而携带。在希腊对这个问题的进一步研究应集中在区域环境而非基因影响上。
