✦ Synopsis

In the past, this section reviewed a potpourri of articles in each issue. We introduce in this issue a new feature of Hepatology Elsewhere. Whenever it is appropriate, we will showcase articles with a common theme. Given the explosion of new medical information pertaining to hepatobiliary physiology and pathology, we believe that by encompassing a common theme and providing reviews on relevant articles in one issue, you will reap the most benefit from this section. The feature articles and their reviews in this issue provide a comprehensive discussion of a major medical breakthrough in the field of inherited metabolic liver diseases (i.e., the identification and characterization of the Wilson's disease gene). We hope you will find this special feature enjoyable.
