Wilson's disease (WD) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by abnormalities of the copper-transporting protein encoding gene ATP7B. In this study, we examined ATP7B for mutations in a group of patients living in southern Brazil.
36 WD subjects were studied and classified according to their clinical and epidemiological data. In 23 subjects the ATP7B gene was analyzed.
Fourteen distinct mutations were detected in at least one of the alleles. The c.3207C>A substitution at exon 14 was the most common mutation (allelic frequency=37.1%) followed by the c.3402delC at exon 15 (allelic frequency=11.4%). The mutations c.2018-2030del13 at exon 7 and c.4093InsT at exon 20 are being reported for the first time.
The c.3207C>A substitution at exon 14, was the most common mutation, with an allelic frequency of 37.1%. This mutation is the most common mutation described in Europe.
威尔逊病（WD）是一种由铜转运蛋白编码基因ATP7B异常引起的先天性代谢缺陷病。在本研究中，我们检测了巴西南部一组患者的ATP7B基因是否存在突变。
对36例WD患者进行研究，并根据其临床和流行病学数据进行分类。对其中23例患者的ATP7B基因进行了分析。
在至少一个等位基因中检测到14种不同的突变。外显子14的c.3207C>A替换是最常见的突变（等位基因频率=37.1%），其次是外显子15的c.3402delC（等位基因频率=11.4%）。外显子7的c.2018 - 2030del13和外显子20的c.4093InsT突变首次被报道。
外显子14的c.3207C>A替换是最常见的突变，等位基因频率为37.1%。该突变是欧洲报道的最常见突变。
