Abstract excerpt
We report a Japanese woman diagnosed as aceruloplasminemia showing characteristic symptoms. Mutational analysis of CP gene revealed a novel homozygous mutation in exon 18, resulting in prematurely truncated W1017X protein. In vitro study showed that W1017X mutant ceruloplasmin was deficient in endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi trafficking and was not secreted to medium. It has been reported that the presence of both...
