Abstract excerpt
Hepatolenticular degeneration, also named Wilson disease, is an autosomal recessive genetic disease that characterized by copper metabolism disorder. WD mainly caused by the dysfunction of mutant ATP7B variants. This review summaries the mechanisms that different mutations affect the function of ATP7B, including inducing the mislocalization of mutant proteins, affecting the interactions between proteins or...
