✦ Synopsis

Given the extraordinarily high mutation rate of viruses, particularly those with RNA genomes, it is not surprising that new viruses are continually evolving. However, the symptomatology of old viral diseases has remained stable for centuries. The combination of genetic and ecological factors that constrain as well as facilitate the emergence of new viruses is analyzed.

## 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
