Abstract excerpt
Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare genetic disorder of copper transport due to mutations in the ATP7B gene. This results in copper overload and tissue damage that is most evident in the liver and brain. Over 1000 pathogenic mutations have been found in WD patients, and of these, mutations within the ATP7B coding region predominate. In this study, we perform functional analyses of 7 rare sequence variations in the...
