Abstract excerpt
Wilson disease leads to severe hepatic and neurological pathology resulting from cellular copper overload in the respective tissue. Although the affected gene, ATP7B, has been identified, genetic testing is challenging, time-consuming and expensive. Here we describe the development and use of a novel diagnostic test for four frequent mutations (M769V, W779X, H1069Q and P1134P-fs) found in Germany and many other...
