Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport resulting from the defective function of a copper transporting P-type ATPasi (ATP7B). We have carried out mutational analysis in 295 patients of Mediterranean origin with Wilson Disease, including 85 Sardinians, 120 Continental It

✦ Synopsis
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, 2008-2013delTATATG, Cys985Thr, and Ile1148Thr have not yet been reported. One patient had a homozygous mutation whereas the remaining four subjects were compound heterozygous. Therefore these data confirm, that mutations causing Wilson disease are frequently found in affected subjects and they are very heterogenous.

Hunter disease (mucopolysaccharidosis type I1 or MPS 11) is an X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disease resulting from a deficiency of L-iduronate 2-sulfate-sulfatase (IDS) (EC 3.1.6.13), which is involved in the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) .

## Kan Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. Mutation screening in Wilson disease has led to the detection of at least 89 disease-specific mutations. Some mutations appear to be population specific, while others are common to many populations. In this study, 38 Tai
Fabry disease is an X-linked disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α αgalactosidase A. The mutations responsible for Fabry disease are diverse and include large rearrangements as well as single base substitutions, and they are dispersed throughout the seven exons of the gene. In th
