Does anyone know anything on Gilbert Syndrome?

I took my 17 year old son for sports physical last night - and during the physical the Dr. asked is it normal for his eyes to be yellow - not directly by eyeball but when you turn your eyeballs his eyes are yellow. I said no - my son said oh that's not normal - umm no - feel bad I didn't see it but anyways they did blood test and the results show high level of bilirubin - they are thinking Gilbert Syndrome - does anyone on here have a child with it or know someone with it? we are going to family Dr. on Friday next week and i want my son tested to make sure its nothing major..
thanks...

Never heard of it but I know babies are frequently born with low or high bilirubin. They normally do photo therapy For it or tell you to keep the baby in the sun. I think its related to jaundice.
