Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnosis and phenotypic classification of Wilson disease

TL;DR: The Wilson disease gene ATP7B encodes a P‐type ATPase, an inherited autosomal recessive disorder of hepatic copper metabolism leading to copper accumulation in hepatocytes and in extrahepatic organs such as the brain and the cornea.
Journal ArticleDOI

High prevalence of the H1069Q mutation in East German patients with Wilson disease: rapid detection of mutations by limited sequencing and phenotype-genotype analysis.

TL;DR: In spite of many known ATP7B mutations, only few occur in this homogeneous population of Wilson disease patients, and limited genetic testing is useful to confirm Wilson disease in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective cellular localization of mutant ATP7B in Wilson's disease patients and hepatoma cell lines

TL;DR: The results provide a detailed demonstration of the ATP7B distribution in control and diseased human livers and indicate that several Wilson's disease mutations lead to incorrect localization of ATP6B to distinct cell compartments.
