## Communicated by Jurgen Horst Wilson disease (WND), an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport, is characterized by excessive accumulation of intracellular copper in liver and extrahepatic tissues because of impaired biliary copper excretion and disturbed incorporation of copper into ce
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
Wilso$disease (WND) is an inborn error of copper metabolism inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. We here report a study of mutations and haplotypes associated with WND in the Japanese. Hepatic and neurological symptoms of Wilson disease (WND), an inborn error of copper metabolism, are ascrib
