Forbes J R, Cox D W
Abstract excerpt
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport that causes hepatic and/or neurological disease resulting from copper accumulation in the liver and brain. The protein defective in this disorder is a putative copper-transporting P-type ATPase, ATP7B. More than 100 mutations have been identified in the ATP7B gene of patients with Wilson disease. To determine the effect of Wilson disease...
