Estimate of the frequency of Wilson's disease in the US Caucasian population: a mutation analysis approach.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Sept 2001

Olivarez L, Caggana M, Pass K A, Ferguson P, Brewer G J

Abstract excerpt

The frequency of Wilson's disease in many populations is thought to be about one in 40000 persons, based on case and autopsy studies. Although the Wilson's disease gene has been identified, there is such a large number of mutations already known that it is not currently feasible to determine disease gene frequency by mutation analysis of a population. We have used a novel approach to obtain an estimate of the...
