Diagnosis and phenotypic classification of Wilson disease
Peter Ferenci,Karel Caca,Georgios Loudianos,G Mieli-Vergani,Stuart Tanner,Irmin Sternlieb,Michael L. Schilsky,Diane W. Cox,Frieder Berr +8 more
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
Successful photodynamic therapy for nonresectable cholangiocarcinoma: a randomized prospective study
Marianne E.J Ortner,Karel Caca,Frieder Berr,Jochen Liebetruth,Ulrich Mansmann,Dominik Huster,Winfried A. Voderholzer,G. Schachschal,Joachim Mössner,Herbert Lochs +9 more
TL;DR: The photodynamic therapy (PDT) had a promising effect on nonresectable cholangiocarcinoma (NCC) in patients with NCC as mentioned in this paper.
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.
Karel Caca,Peter Ferenci,H. Kuhn,Claudia Polli,Helmut Willgerodt,Bernhard Kunath,Wieland Hermann,Joachim Mössner,Frieder Berr +8 more
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
Dominik Huster,Michael Hoppert,Svetlana Lutsenko,Jan Zinke,Claudia Lehmann,Joachim Mössner,Frieder Berr,Karel Caca +7 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diverse Functional Properties of Wilson Disease ATP7B Variants
Dominik Huster,Dominik Huster,Dominik Huster,Angelika Kühne,Ashima Bhattacharjee,Lily Raines,Vanessa Jantsch,Johannes Noe,Wiebke Schirrmeister,Wiebke Schirrmeister,Ines Sommerer,Osama Sabri,Frieder Berr,Frieder Berr,Joachim Mössner,Bruno Stieger,Karel Caca,Svetlana Lutsenko +17 more
TL;DR: Variants in ATP7B associated with Wilson disease disrupt the protein's transport activity, result in its mislocalization, and reduce its stability, which will contribute to the understanding of genotype-phenotype correlation and mechanisms of disease pathogenesis.
