We characterized microsatellite marker haplotypes and identified mutations in members of 19 ethnically diverse Israeli families affected by Wilson disease (WD). Eighteen unique haplotypes were derived from allelic combinations for four marker loci spanning the WD gene, ATP7B, at chromosome 13q14.3:

The gene ATP7B responsible for Wilson's disease (WD) produces a protein which is predicted to be a copper-binding P-type ATPase, homologous to the Menkes disease gene (ATP7A). Various mutations of ATP7B have been identified. This study aimed to detect disease-causing mutations, to clarify their freq
In order to obtain novel mutations in the recently discovered Wilson disease gene, we screened 5 unrelated German individuals for mutations in the 21 exons and their flanking intronic sequences. We detected 9 mutations affecting the Wilson disease gene. Four of those, designated 802-808delTGTAAGT, 2
