Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To find out the relationship between mutation of ATP7B gene promoter region and pathogenesis of Wilson disease(WD). METHODS: Two of 48 WD patients presented C-->T base substitution mutations at the position -183. DNA sequences of the promoter region from normal and mutant samples were separated. The fragments containing the promoter region were cloned upstream of the luciferase. Luciferase activity was...
