Novel mutations in ATP7B gene of Wilson\'s disease in Iranian patients

Bacground: Wilson's disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by toxic accumulation of copper in liver and brain. The disorder is caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, encoding a copper transporting P-type ATPase. Characterization of the spectrum of mutations in this gene is important both for diagnosis and genetic counseling of the families. Materials and Methods: We enrol...

Copper-dependent trafficking of Wilson disease mutant ATP7B proteins.

We have previously developed a functional assay in yeast for the copper transporter, ATP7B, defective in Wilson disease (WND). Analysis of WND variant ATP7B proteins revealed that several were able to completely, or nearly completely, complement a mutant yeast strain in which the ATP7B ortholog CCC2 was disrupted, indicating that these ATP7B proteins retained copper transport activity. We analy...

Diverse functional properties of Wilson disease ATP7B variants.

BACKGROUND & AIMS Wilson disease is a severe disorder of copper metabolism caused by mutations in ATP7B, which encodes a copper-transporting adenosine triphosphatase. The disease presents with a variable phenotype that complicates the diagnostic process and treatment. Little is known about the mechanisms that contribute to the different phenotypes of the disease. METHODS We analyzed 28 varian...

common polymorphisms of atp7b gene as a good marker in linkage analysis in wilson disease patients from southern iran

background: wilson disease (wd) is caused by numerous pathogenic mutations of the atp7b gene. there are several mutation screening methods that can be used for the diagnosis and carrier detection of wd, however such methods are costly and time-consuming. therefore, other diagnostic methods should be used for urgent situations such as prenatal diagnosis. objective: to report common polymorphisms...

Novel compound heterozygote mutations in the ATP7B gene in an Iranian family with Wilson disease: a case report

BACKGROUND Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport and is characterized by excessive accumulation of cellular copper in the liver and other tissues because of impaired biliary copper excretion and disturbed incorporation of copper into ceruloplasmin. Hepatic failure and neuronal degeneration are the major symptoms of Wilson disease. Mutations in the ATP7B gene are ...
