Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Wilson disease (WD) is a copper metabolism disorder caused by mutations in ATP7B gene, with significant clinical variability. Several studies have analyzed the prevalence and penetrance of mutations. We evaluated both characteristics for our more frequent mutations. METHODS: Evaluation of 260 patients from the National Registry: clinical, analytical and genetic data. Estimation of homozygotes...
