Abstract excerpt
Wilson's disease (WND) is an inherited disorder of copper metabolism. Divalent metal transporter1 (DMT1) and ATP7A play important roles in metal transport in humans. The frequency of two single nucleotide polymorphisms of the DMT1 gene: DMT1 IVS4 C>A, DMT1 11245 T>C and two of the ATP7A gene: rs1062472 T>C, ATP7A rs 2227291 G>C have been evaluated in a population of 108 Wilson's disease patients and 108 sex- and...
