Wilson disease: identification of two novel mutations and clinical correlation in Eastern Chinese patients.

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To study mutations in the P-type ATPase (ATP7B) gene responsible for Wilson disease (WD) in the Eastern Chinese population, and the possible correlation of specific mutations with clinical characteristics. METHODS: Mutations of the ATP7B gene were sought by means of direct sequencing in 50 Eastern Chinese WD patients of Han ethnic origin. RESULTS: Two novel mutations, Asp96Gly and Asp196Glu, were first...
