    <abstract locale="en_US">Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II is a metabolic disorder stemming from mutations in the UGT1A1 gene, resulting in heightened levels of unconjugated bilirubin. Here is a case report of a 17-year-old male patient with minor thalassemia and G6PD deficiency who was referred due to worsening jaundice. He has had a history of lifelong jaundice, which has intensified over the past year and a half. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with Crigler-Najjar type II based on his medical history, clinical examination, and laboratory findings. Furthermore, the patient&#x2019;s positive response to phenobarbital treatment confirmed the diagnosis. Consequently, it is imperative to consider CriglerNajjar syndrome in cases of unexplained unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.</abstract>
