Mutation analysis of Taiwanese Wilson disease patients.

Abstract excerpt

Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism, which is caused by mutation in copper-transporting ATPase (ATP7B). In the present study, we report a molecular diagnosis method to screen the WD chromosome in patients or in heterozygotic carriers in Taiwan. Exons 8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, and 18 of ATP7B are selected for the screening of mutations. The most common mutation, Arg778Leu or...
