A novel splicing mutation in the ceruloplasmin gene responsible for hereditary ceruloplasmin deficiency with hemosiderosis.

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary ceruloplasmin deficiency with hemosiderosis (aceruloplasminemia) is a newly recognized autosomal recessive disorder of copper-iron metabolism due to mutations in the ceruloplasmin (Cp) gene. We report here a novel mutation in the Cp gene in a 54-year-old Japanese woman with this disease. She showed clinical triad; diabetes mellitus, retinal degeneration and neurological disorder in her middle age....
