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...
متن کاملNovel 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...

متن کاملCopper-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...
متن کاملWilson Disease Mutations in the American Population: Identification of Five Novel Mutations in ATP7B
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by toxic accumulation of copper in a number of organs such as liver and brain, which results in significant disability or death if left untreated. Wilson disease is caused by mutations in ATP7B, a copper transporter. We analyzed 108 American Wilson disease patients, who are predominantly White, for mutations in ATP7B. Consistent wi...
