Mutation analysis of ATP7B gene in Turkish Wilson disease patients: identification of five novel mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene that encodes a P-type copper transporting ATPase. The aim of this study was to screen and detect mutations of the ATP7B gene in unrelated Turkish Wilson disease patients (n = 46) and control group (n = 52). Mutations were screened and detected by DNA sequencing. 30 out of 46 patients had mutations. 24...
