Haplotypes and mutations in Wilson disease.

Abstract excerpt

Wilson disease is a disorder of copper transport, resulting in neurological and hepatic damage due to copper toxicity. We have recently identified > 20 mutations in the copper-transporting ATPase defective in this disease. Given the difficulties of searching for mutations in a gene spanning > 80 kb of genomic DNA, haplotype data are important as a guide to mutation detection. Here we examine the haplotypes...
